Fel pro Permadry valvecovers

[bad V6]

I've been running the Fel Pro perma dry for a few years now, and no leaks. This is on GN1 heads with TA valve covers.

I have bought 2 sets of the molded black rubber, 1st in the mid 90's and had covers off many times. No leaks. When I built the engine in 2006 or so I got a set of Champion style covers and replaced the gaskets, still no leaks. I use black RTV, a light skim to tack them to covers.

I got Cometics I’m putting on in the next couple weeks. Anything special I should know when putting them on? Did you put them on dry or with any RTV? Any trimming needed? TIA.

Dry and done you can remove them all you want .i run solid lifters and ha em off 20 times

You different offer a timeframe for 20 adjustments, but how often do you have to adjust your valve lash?

I have had great success with the cork Felpro gaskets. I use RTV silicone on one side of the gasket, and put it down on a dry/clean surface of the head. Then I put the valve cover on. A lot of leaks are made when people over torque the valve covers. They don't need to be reefed, that's what distorts the gasket and causes leaks. I just tighten to lite tension and stop. This will eliminate that dreaded oil on the X over pipe.
