I agree with frankhoward7645about using fuel line inside the cover. I did this 20+ years ago and it took care of the issue.

Great video. I had no idea this problem existed. Here's another tip. Forget the Senloc washers. The use of them is an attempt to stop the oil AFTER it passes through the cover. Cut 1/2" (approximate) sections of rubber fuel line that will fit over the studs. When the cover is installed, these will form a seal against it preventing the oil from passing through the cover in the first place.

Great video. I think I may have been tempted to grind a couple of mil off the bottom of the stud, than mod the cam cover, as it seemed pretty true.
