I had a question regarding valve cover gaskets; On a race motor running a vacuum pump, What would work best? I'm sure any parts store would have gaskets, probably reasonably priced too, would they be provide good enough a seal, or like most Buick parts, do I need to by the "extra special super sealing gold cored gaskets, only available from top dollar parts"??? Thanks, Gary G.
Gary I just use the ''parts store'' black neoprene. I glue them to the valve cover w/ 3M weatherstrip adhesive and they're good for years of service w/o leaks. I do run an air pump and the seal is good for that too.
Thanks Gary, I'll be heading to Auto Zone. One step closer for the Nitrous 470! Hope to be on the dyno iin a month. Gary G.
