best valve cover gaskets? Reply #7 – March 16, 2008, 03:15:35 PM I'm only coming up with these 2 choices (locally at least, And for a 6 Banger).http://www.autozone.com/N,15300524/shopping/partTypeResultSet.htmI'll probably just go for the Steel Stamped Perma-Dry Plus...The ones that are on right now are Cork, And are really stiff, cracked and drenched in oil...
