I know a lot of people advise to stay away from different valve covers but what is a good gasket 4 ceiling cylinder head valve covers I got those Fel-Pro blue rubber ones that are reusable and mine started leaking at the back passenger side. Thankfully I caught it leaving the racetrack before any catastrophic damage happened

Nope I was thinking about getting some cork valve cover gaskets https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180621/60a122b067c60386096f4a69d644827a.jpg

I've had valve covers similar to that and the felpro gaskets worked fine. I have Canton's now and no luck with those gaskets

I used uncut cork sheets with my Canton's and made my own gaskets. The sheets were Felpro part no. 3007.

I run the blue rubber ones with my cantons and no issues.

Sent from my SM-G955U using TapatalkI stretched the shit out of my blue ones to get them around the inner tabs and had to silicone the corners in place because they rolled over. I'm glad yours worked out... mine was a terrible experience!
