I recently replaced my valve cover with a shiny red one purchased from Stateofnine dot com. When installing the new valve cover gasket I used Permatex gasket adhesive. I used a bit too much and didn't clean up well enough. Well, some dripped down onto the exhaust manifold and got right down in between the turbocharger and the manifold. I have pressure washed the area (with the car cold), used a metal brush to brush off the entire area and have driven the car a couple of hundred miles since replacing the valve cover gasket. I continue to get lots of smoke and stink from the Permatex burning off. Does anyone have any suggestions short of disassembling the turbo / manifold? The smoke is embarassing and the stink is, well, stinky. Thanks.
