Well then, you have not been around here long enough to learn how to install them properly? :biggrin: One simple method is the use a spray adhesive to stick them to the covers. Snug all the bolts. After 15 minutes snug them again. Do it again, and also after a heat cycle on the engine. Check to see they are tight at every oil change. If this method does NOT work, something is wrong? :smile:
