For those running M&A heads, what valve cover gasket are you using? I've got the FelPro 50156T, which is the blue rubber gasket with the metal core. I thought I read that this is the correct gasket, but I'm having trouble getting the gasket to line up in the receiver groove in the head.
The heads previously had an orange rubber gasket w/o metal core, but the clearances with the T&Ds were too tight with this alone. So the previous owner used this orange gasket with a cork gasket siliconed to the cover, but this combo leaked like crazy. I was hoping the 50156T would give me the clearance I need. BTW, I'm using the taller buick power 6 covers, and the clearance is still tight. Any help is appreciated.
