valve cover gaskets? which ones?
 

Hi fellas, i been collecting gaskets for my head swap, i got the mr.gaskets cork thick ones (valve cover), will these work? i like them thick to clear rockers, right now i have the felpros on with the little inserts, but the parts store was out of them, seems like last time i used these mr.gasket's yrs ago i got a leak, but i'll try them again if anyone has good to say on them.

I know the rubber ones are the best, but i dont want them at this point.
thnx.

I have had good luck with both. I like to silicon them to the valve cover and lightly grease the surface going to the head itself. Like this you can pull them a few times before actually replacing them.

Great idea workcar, dang you guys:D

Motorsport makes valve cover gaskets that have a 3/16 metal frame with o-rings on both sides you get the clearance and you can reuse them many times. I had mine off 6+ times no leaks, work good, just an option.

The above gaskets are the best way to go, IMHO... I've been using the same set for the last 8yrs. :D ...and have had the valve covers off several hundred times. Well worth the initial cost vs. the cork gaskets ;)

Don't get me wrong, though, as the as the cork gaskets will work just fine......

Get the Moroso #93060 it is the last valve cover gasket you will ever buy. I put them on all my customers cars, there is none better.
