Dave are you using the pink gaskets or the black thicker gaskets?

Road hazard I'm a customer of yours I purchased my gaskets through Glendora Dodge... there's a desperate need for someone to make a soft valve cover gasket for a Mopar W8 as well as intake manifold gaskets... the W8 and W9 intake manifold gaskets are interchangeable I believe

I've had pretty good luck with the Fel-Pro 1612's when the pieces aren't perfect.

Unfortunately my bad luck, exactly the one's I have recently used on my BB Edy aluminum head, MOPAR performance aluminum valve covers. Both sides at rear bottom bolt seep no manner how tightly I cinch them and how often. It does seem that I can always get another half turn of the bolts as it appears this gasket has infinite crush capabilities. Had switched from cork for re-usuability which had only leaked a very modest amount on right rear cover,,,which was corrected with a dab of silicone black at that point. Moroso's, I have never removed but about to give them the silicone treatment,,,,but am uncertain if will do any good as they are now oil soaked. If this fails, back to cork I go. Yes I suspect that valve cover machining may be questionable too and in that is where my Moroso problems lie. Particularly as others are having success.

The Fel-Pro 1612's work excellent for rpm heads and mp cast valve covers.
The big down side with them for me has been.......after they have been installed a while, when you remove the v/c, it usually tears the gasket, and you need to replace them.
I've had good results with the moroso gaskets on Indy heads using Indy v/c's, with studs and nylock nuts. I squish them down a little and call it good.
I'm jealous of how clean that engine bay is!!!
