is there anyone making a decent set of bb valve cover gaskets? i've had the silocone steel ribbed one's on my small block for 13 yrs with no problems. i'm building a 528 for a customer and i would really like to use something other than cork or thin rubber.

thanks

Use the moroso blue gaskets. Well worth the money.

The FelPro vs50145r is another option.

It seems I just bought a set of Hi-Temp Fel Pro gaskets from Autozone, they work really good. Had the valve covers off several times, never ripped, leaked etc.

The rubber Moroso`s didn`t last long for me as they tore along the outer edge w/ e-heads but, there is a fairly sharp edge on these heads so maybe w/a bit of fileing they might not tear. I use fel-pro cork gaskets and personally have better luck.

Same thing happened twice on my E heads with the Moroso's. Split along the outer rail at the headers.
I've gone back to the orange Mopar's #4027092 and RTV them to the cover (Aluminum 440 Source ones).
No leaks now.
