Re: IML: Fuselage cars



I never had much luck with rubber valve cover gaskets, with or without sealant. They always leaked on my 440. I've had great luck with the Fel-Pro cork gaskets, installed dry with no sealant. That's what finally stopped my oil leaks.

Have you tried to get rubber cover gaskets?  I purchased some in
1980 for my 1972 Custom Suburban S/W with a 400 in it.

I am going to see if I can get some for my 75's 440. RockAuto has
them FEL-PRO Part # VS50145R Rubber coated fiber gaskets $14.40

If you haven't tried it already you might want to try a Fel-Pro

As the
oil soaks into the cork the cork will expand and (hopefully)
seal the
leaks.
