Perpetually leaking valve covers on an otherwise dry motor have driven me nuts. I've used the rubber gaskets, cork gaskets. no sealer, with sealer.........
So, I'm now looking at cast aluminum valve covers, as I believe their rigidity and milled surfaces will solve the issue. Any experience or manufacturer recomendations? Tom |

I have checked them for flatness last time they were off.
Interesting point regarding the logos. I didnt know it made a difference. |
