I pulled the plugs from the Yelli Celi (which were fowled) and went to get new ones. The ones I pulled were gapped at .50, but I'm not sure if thats the size it should be. Does anyone know what the proper gap should be on the silvertop?

EDIT: So last night when I was changing spark plugs I noticed little pools of oil in two of the three screw holes that hold the valve cover on. I cleaned up the oil and put everything back together. This afternoon after work I pulled the spark plug cover back off and found the pools of oil have returned.

So I need to replace the valve cover gasket.. Anyone have the EPC and can look up that for me? Thanks!

On a blacktop it's supposed to be at 0.043 so I'd assume that on a silvertop it should be similar if not the same.

Well I read on club4AG that if I got the NGK's (which I did) that they should come pre-gapped, so I tossed them in with the gap provided (a bit over .30) and started it up and it ran fine, so I'll research a bit more tomorrow, but I think I did it properly.

until tomorrow....

off topic, but whilst I was under the hood today I wiped everything down and put a bit of wax around the engine bay. Now the inside and the outside shines!

Edit in first post.

Contact Herb at Cabe Toyota and ask him about the 20v valve cover gasket. He can also source a few maintenance 20v parts for you if you want. Here's his email address:
