Valve Cover Gaskets W-9 with big springs

Does anybody know of a narrow valve cover gasket that can be used with 1.680" O.D springs on a W-9 head that do not need to be trimmed to clear the springs?

Thanks!

I used the MP gaskets(silicone over metal) and had
to grind for each spring... I havent heard of any
narrow ones
EDIT
I also had to clearance the reverse lip MP valve
covers

Cometic makes a w9 valve cover gasket, and all pro makes a valve cover. W9 use the same bolt pattern as stock but they moved the front and rear rail. So if you want it to be correct get those.

Mike,

I was able to find some valve covers that I did not have to clearance, but was trying to avoid chopping the gaskets again.

Brett,
Thanks I will look into both of those gaskets, at least they may not need to be trimmed as much.

I never changed gaskets all the years I ran my
W-9 so I only cut 1 set
EDIT
I mod a set of MP cast covers

They will not need to be trimmed at all, they are the same width as the rail on your head.

How much was the top and rear rails narrowed? I am looking at doing some billet valve covers

Brent,

Am I correct that Cometic has two gaskets a W-2, W-5, W-7, W-9 model and a W-8 model?

I was expecting a W-9 only model and I am not finding it.

Thanks,
Bill

This is part number you need for w9

"Cometic Midget & Sprint Valve Cover Gasket"

Thanks I never would have found it looking for W-9...

Get gasket and use that as a template. They changed a lot.

I found some info on the Cometic gasket site that I will use. I will have to order some gaskets to be sure
