Re: IML: Fuselage cars

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

I find that it works best to glue them (good quality rubber ones) in 
place in the valve cover, before installing the valve cover on the 
head. Occasionally, I have to tighten the bolts a little bit, but I 
haven't had any other problems. I have used this method several times. 
I also find it easier to deal with cleaning the valve cover rather than 
having the scrape the head. Although the surface must be cleaned, the 
less work I have to do on the head, hanging over the fender, the easier 
it is on my back.

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
