[DeTomaso] NPC best valve cover gaskets?

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Ken,
I'm not currently at home to look it up, but if you received a copy of Profiles about two issues back (the last Mike Drew issue), you should find an article about my trip to SSCC in 2012.  In there I think I listed the parts used in my engine build and the valve cover gaskets might have been part of that.

Otherwise I'll check at home when I get there later tonight.

   Ken,
   I'm not currently at home to look it up, but if you received a copy of
   Profiles about two issues back (the last Mike Drew issue), you should
   find an article about my trip to SSCC in 2012.  In there I think I
   listed the parts used in my engine build and the valve cover gaskets
   might have been part of that.

     I use the rubber composite style.  I avoid the cork and rubber
     impregnated cork like the plague.
     Last time I installed them I used sealer on one side to the valve
     cover, and based on recommendations from others on this list I used
     Vasoline on the head side.  I've not seen any leaks and they are easy
     to remove.
