Learn from my mistakes.... go with Superformance gaskets. The only set that seal 100% and last a long time. Instructions on torque and how to apply are included. Highly recommended.


I second this. I used Superformance Carbon-X gaskets the last time I had my covers off and it is the first time that I've ever had no leaks at all; they've been on for over a year. I used their pan gaskets too with a windage tray and had the same results, The whole engine is completely dry which I've never had with any gaskets I've used before. Some weep just a little oil but, I always had at least some small leak.

I will never use another gasket for these areas.
