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?32 Three Window Coupe, 350 Chevy Crate engine, 700R4 tranny, 9" Ford. Build by East Coast Rod Shop. Flames by Custom By Bob.

Spreaders can, especially on cheep covers.. Rubber gaskets work well.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

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.Ken Thomas
