    I think why the felpro gasket didnt work was that the mechanic couldnt flaten the covers properly. Thank Jack. Larry

    I have to "assume" that the engine is an FE - and they are a pain to seal. I too like Earls, but they don't cover all engines. The Edelbrock gaskets are .310 vs .172 for the Fel-Pro. I used to contact cement them to the valve cover after I had straightened the bolt holes.
