I have rebuilt the ZS carb and now have the thing running 
great (yes, it is possible to get a ZS tuned decently - 
of course, it helps to be Irish :~) ). Here's the new
problem, I cannot keep a gasket on the valve cover, after
a short time I start getting oil leaking past the thing. I
have used the 'blue stuff' and seem to have decent downward
pressure from the TWO nuts. Is it possible to be getting pressure
built up under the valve cover?
