Hello and thanks for taking the time to look.
I picked up a set of Gasket Innovations silicone valve cover gaskets, for the longest time I have had problems with leaky valve cover gaskets, I have resorted to using shellac gasket compound on my cork gaskets which seals the covers pretty well but removal is a bitch and adds a lot of time to the valve adjustment process. Has anyone used the silicone gaskets? Any advice will be welcome. Thanks, Mike ps: image stolen from their website.  |
