Leaking, valve cover gaskets. Options

[Elliot Cannon]

On the way home from the Phoenix Club event, I noticed a slight aroma of burning oil. A smell by the way that I am sad to say I am somewhat familiar with. I discovered an old pretty ratty cork type valve cover casket that was slightly distorted. I decided to look up the John Rogers valve cover modification on Pelican Parts and welded up the side that was leaking. I used a new silicone gasket from 914 rubber. It looks dry so far but I haven't really driven it much since finished. Here's the tech article. A pretty easy mod. that might save ya some grief in the future. http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/9...alve_covers.htm

Actually,
I have about 5 sets of the valve covers I had Cary Bead blast we are planing to to these up as a service. Will be finished with a nice enamel in Black. Just need to finalize my costs, but doing these in sets of 10 would be even more cost effective. I'll try to get some more cores to do these on an exchange basis.

I am interested in a set on an exchange basis.
