Quick question about valve cover gaskets
Hey Guys,
I just received my new valve cover gaskets from Gessford Machine and I was wondering what gasket I should use. Since they have a flat machined surface with no lip I wasn't sure and George is probally gone home for the weekend. |
What has worked for me is glueing cork gaskets to the valve cover with 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive (follow the directions closely). When the glue has set overnight, I just put a thin film of oil or grease on the head and bolt them up. I've never had a leaker this way. My current VC's are without the flange.
|
I did the same as above, but just used a very thin layer of the 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive and used my finger to spread a thin layer of oil over the head. I also never had a leak in the years that I owned my Cobra.

same here, only difference is i use the rubber gaskets....
they seen to come off cleaner if you do have to remove them. |
Thank you Guys once again for your quick replys.
Trying to get it done today and beat all the rain they say we are going to get starting Sunday. David:D |
Good luck David. Maybe you will be able to get in a test run or two before the rains hit.

It never rains in Southern California.......does it?????????
|
:)
Sure it does. What do you think causes all of the mud slides? When I lived in Santa Barbara we used to get some really hard rains, but not as much as is normal here in Northern California. Ron ;) |
Ron, Have you ever heard of the Pirates of Summerland?
