Default Valve Cover Gaskets

Time for some TLC for my GN, one thing on my list is new gaskets, any recommendations?

Thanks!

Hi Mark, I put some new valve cover gaskets on and I highly recommend RJC racing products. Their web site is www.RJCRACING.COM or to place an order use the website www.RJCRACING.NET. I have been very well pleased with the valve gasket cover material they use compared to cork gaskets. These will fit your stock valve covers perfectly. Just make sure to torque them down to correct specs.

I think the standard cork gaskets are fine. Just remember that none of them are cut to fit the stock aluminum valve covers correctly and they will require some trimming.

RJC racing gaskets fit perfectly with no trimming needed. No matter what gasket material you decide to use the main thing is that with proper torque specs you shouldn't have any leaks.
