I want to use a cast aluminum cover to make sure I have no valve cover leaks as I can use the newer style gaskets with the cast covers. I plan to paint them orange and put the 426 SuperStock decals on them. Ron

Glued the gasket on them with rtv and had them on and off a few times and there all good. They never came with breather holes or baffels.

I figure since I have a nice flat head surface with my aluminum heads that if I got a V/C with a nice flat surface I could use the Moroso gaskets as the rubber coated ones with the metal insert in them should work great like that but they dont work to good with stock steel V/C's. Since I pull my covers at least once a year to adjust my valves I want to use a gasket that I can use over. But them other ones you guys showed me look good also. I figure with the cast aluminum covers and aluminum heads it would seal up very easy every time. Thanks , Ron Last edited by 383man; 09/26/13 05:24 PM.

They have to be cut back by radius-ing the end of the rocker corners off or they will not bolt down and clear. They are a very nice covers though, Indy gets them from the same importer as 440 source ?? Pro-Comp MLR426 Performance Plus Cylinder Head Last edited by MLR426; 09/27/13 09:23 AM.
