Personally, if available, I would just get a neoprene gasket and glue it to the valve cover. Will be the last gasket you buy, even on a solid-lifter engine. nate -- replace "fly" with "com" to reply. http://home.comcast.net/~njnagel |

Use "the right stuff" but let it set up a little before installing the
valve cover. Is the stock gasket cork or neoprene? If the latter you can probably safely reuse it with no ill effects. nate Martik wrote: > 1993 Nissan Altima.

I regularly use Permatex "The Right Stuff" brand gasket maker in place of valve cover, timing cover, and oil pan gaskets, and been very happy. I do NOT like using their plain black, red, or blue RTV in place of gaskets though. It doesn't hold up as long as "The Right Stuff." |
