    Hi I am new to this forum but I have read alot from it. Anyway I recently replaced both valve cover gaskets and grommets on my 98 GTP due to seeing smoke from both those areas. Anyway, the smoke in front is gone but it is still smoking in the rear at a reduced rate. It seems I did not get the install down on the rear cover. I am replacing my supercharger coupler soon and I am wondering what to do about the smoke from rear valve cover area. Am I stuck buying another gasket set? Well thanks for your help or suggestions. Back to the heat of south Louisiana.

    it maybe just left over oil burning off, did you degrease the engine before you did the vc gaskets? if not try that.
