LOOK AT THIS ! https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/136133.html
That is a post from 2015 (I was googling my question and it came up) and that guy asked so simply as possible for help and yet you still talked a completly different stuff...crazy

I agree 100% on thicker skin being advantageous, although part of the issue here might be due to the fact that English isn't the native tongue of the OP.
I'd also like to add that "criticism" was never my goal in this thread. Everything I stated in this thread was meant to be good-natured and was intended to be informative and helpful, if taken as such. But yes, as previously stated... non familiarity of English may've played a role in my comments not being fully understood/appreciated. Or maybe the OP has a chip on his shoulder? I dunno. Whatever... I'll save him the discomfort of my responses and bypass any future threads of his.

I made a post seeking for help, so how the hell is critisism making any sense in this situation ? He did not share any knowledge or ideas, how can you type that?! Look up the comments.
It's just annoying when I see people have question or ask for help, and this dude just comments without any answer or solution. He can be another decade longer on this forum, that means literally nothing. (Actually worse)
He literally says the same stuff from that post from 2015. Starting to type completely different stuff, trying to be in the right for whatever reason he has and then saying people have a chip on their shoulder, that is crazy...
Even a other member called him out, when I say I have a cork gasket and nothing else, either help me or just spare your comments simple... what is the purpose of having so many years of knowledge when you just type any not helpfull stuff.
Also, beeing inexperienced and having a new account are 2 different things (see the post I linked). I was never mad....just kinda annoyed that's it... but reading him saying it's because english is not my native language makes me question his mentallity, what has that to do with any of this, is he having so much freetime to comment every post out of boredom?

Are you even reading what you type? Not a single helpfull comment. You were talking anything but the subject back from 2015 ago, also telling the dude he has a "chip on his shoulder" for whatever reason, if think it's not people getting a thicker skin beeing the issue, it's your oversized ego 🤣

Maybe you're just a little too sensitive to cope with an online public forum.  The members here all volunteer their time and expertise, and are not paid to respond to questions in the manner that maybe you seem to think that they should. The discussion can vary somewhat from the original inquiry. Heck, it helps to keep the forum interesting. Keep in mind, you are not the only person reading the responses. Even if the discussion doesn't all exactly pertain to the original inquiry, there can be nuggets of information that may be helpful to other readers of the thread.
Don't worry, I shall gladly refrain from commenting in any future threads of yours.

What ever it cost's you to get the correct Valve cover gaskets, in a years time or less when your cork ones are leaking you will tell yourself you should have just done it correct from the start, now you have to tear it all apart again.
This is what they are trying to steer you towards. The Cork gaskets for stamped steel valve covers will not last with the Fiero 2.8's cast aluminum covers. it won't last, this many of us already know, we were once there and wasted our time and money trying to make them work.
You want our help, we are telling you to get the correct formed rubber gaskets.[This message has been edited by jelly2m8 (edited 08-04-2024).]

Thank you, that is very helpfull information. It hasn't been said before that you guys tried it and it failed. I did find the correct ones later on, so if these cork gaskets don't leak immidiatelly, that will be fine, I learn from my mistakes.
Thank you very much!😄
