Valve Gaskets
When I replace my valve covers, should I use RTV, purchase a pontiac gasket, or use both?

I used the original cork gaskets on my 326 with Permatex Hylomar non-hardening sealant. They haven't leaked since I assembled them 8 years ago. I think the most important thing is to not tighten them down to much ( I think it is in the in-lbs range), that is by far the most common mistake made causing leaks.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
