    350 Chevy Crate Engine Valve Cover Gaskets

     



    What is everyone using for valve cover gaskets? I was considering FelPro rubber gaskets. Do valve cover bolt spreaders make a difference?

    Spreaders can, especially on cheep covers.. Rubber gaskets work well.

    I like something like these , but I'd rather they be Fel-Pro. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SBC-Steel-C...xWoVjb&vxp=mtr

    The long hold downs are great for steel stamped valve covers but are not needed for aluminum. Getting the mating surfaces totally free of any grease or oil is a must. A well ventilated area, rubber gloves, an old rag and brake parts cleaner works great and leaves no residue.
