Valve Cover Gaskets

[dereklola]

Need recommendation as to what valve cover gaskets to buy for my Stage 2 Indy Lights engine - type, make, source, etc. They will get used (on/off) fairly frequently but not every 5 minutes! Thx - Derek

Two diff ones from Summit. Same thickness, but one is rubber over metal, other is rubber over fiber.

I like the fiber/rubber version. I tried those metal core ones Felpro offers but I had to trim them to make the fit. PITA!!

He uses the squid moniker because he's in the Navy.

I have used both types. I now use the rubber over steel version and have used the same pair for a couple years now. Mike
