OhioGTX, a close friend of mine has been using our #3186 with the Victor heads AND cast Mopar Performance valve covers for years with zero leak issues. If he had an issue I would most certainly be aware of it. When I gave him the gaskets he asked, "what should i do for installation?" I said, "nothing, just put them on and tighten the fasteners." To this day I believe those same gaskets are on the engine without issue.

Mike you have the #3186 gasket which was designed with the intention of it being "The Gasket To Use" with the Indy heads and valve covers. As I stated in our conversations there is something going on with the components you are using. Either flatness, valve cover hold downs or something. Heck, it could be something else leaking making it look like the valve covers. You never let me know if you wanted to try a set of the Carbon-X gaskets..... the offer still stands.

Should have contacted me....... "When someone purchases from Superformance Products they get real, honest and cohesive tech support direct from the manufacturer. Take advantage of that benefit."
