Valve cover gasket ? - 03/05/13 10:03 PM

I've got a slight leak at my valve cover gasket (1969 383 HP). Looking at a felpro set. What material cork/rubber and thickness or brand do you recommend? Thanks in advance

metal with rubber covering, they are also reusable, works great for me.

can be bought at your local Chrysler dealer, or used to be able to.

I'll find a link to the place I've bought them, stand by.

Ive used the black ones they make.The best Ive used though are Mr Gasket Ultra seals.I get about 4 or 5 valve adjustments before they need replaced.Rocky

I just went thru problem on my 70 383. First, make sure your covers are straight & bolt holes aren't pushed in allowing leaks. I used the Felpro cork/rubber (1610 I think?) gaskets & finally switched covers to MT diecast aluminum ones & got the Moroso Perm-Align #93055
rubber & steel gaskets. Expensive at $38, but they did the trick.
