Need Rubber/Silocone Valve Cover Gasket
Can anyone recommend a good rubber/silicone valve cover gasket for a '70- 400 engine. I checked with Fel-Pro and they don't make one.
Any help is appreciated. You all have a good day. trshman |

"Pontiac Steel Core Valve Cover Gasket The BOP Pontiac steel core Neoprene (rubber) valve cover gaskets are the ultimate in sealing and reusability. The steel core maintains the shape of the gasket for improved sealing especially in vacuum pump applications. Gaskets will not get sucked into the valve train area and or tear like cork. At 3/16 inches thickness (.187") they also aid in clearance issues with roller valve trains. Pontiac Steel Core Valve Cover Gasket (pair) (VCG45R)... $19.99" BOP Engineering also has a one piece oil pan gasket |
I run these. I like the steel core because they hold their shape and stay in place without sealant. They have a rib around the inside and outside edge that nests tight around the cylinder head flange and provides a good seal against the valve cover.

I have found you need at least 5/16 thick to help with roller rocker clearance.Tom

Thank you one and all. I bought some off ebay from an RH Jones company who claims to be the manufacturer. They're silicone with a steel core, $22 bucks incl shipping. Bought them on Tuesday, arrived Thursday. They look great, I'll let you know how they perform.
