I have not saw it happen either. *Side note* My dad is an auto mechanic, and put me to work in my early teens. The first set of valve cover gaskets I put on I took an air wrench to, wide open, until it couldn't screw no more! (Hey I wanted to get done to go ride motorcycles with my girlfriend!) Needless to say, they leaked oil like there were no valve cover's on it. I had to work "over" that night to fix my screw-up(No moto riding with my sweetie that night). I learned two lessons that night that have stuck with me. (1). All gaskets have a torque specification that needs to be followed, and if I had read the package, I would have known that... i.e. the instructions are there for a purpose. (2). Never assume anything(this one has been hard to follow, even 20 years later) and anything worth doing, is doing it right the first time. OK. maybe that's 3 lessons learned?
