Re: valve cover gasket question

As far as I know they still have both the cork and the rubber gaskets. I think they send the cork ones in the full kits and I had to order the rubber ones. I think it's the same part number but without the "R" or "VR" And I prefer the rubber too. I do put some black liquid Aviation sealer on the gasket. I think how you tighten it is significant too. I snug up the bolts hand tight and then push the valve cover up and to the front as far as possible before I finish tightening it. That seems to help. They move quite a bit when doing this.

Hi all,

When putting on a new valve cover gasket on a Poly 318 what works best for you? That is, do you use any additional gasket sealer or just the gasket itself?

This is the gasket: Fel Pro VS11828R "Cork-Rubber is the most frequently used material. FEL-PRO Blue Stripe premium-quality cork-rubber gaskets use evenly-sized cork particles evenly distributed throughout a rubber binder. The result is a compressible gasket without leak paths."

Thanks,
Gary H.
