Valve cover gaskets

[6packCuda]

Any particular brand or design of valve cover gaskets that work better for stock style valve covers?

You are in luck as there is a variety. Mr. Gasket makes some that work well...

I am old school and still like the cork gaskets. I use a bead of silicone and attach them to the valve covers to keep them in place. Then I'll set them on the heads. I tried a set with the hard rubber coating. I found them to be too hard & had difficulty getting them to seal. I actually broke the corner off of my diecast aluminum Mopar Performance valve covers over tightening them to try to get the gaskets to seal. Oh, and the black rubberized gaskets, when removed after being on for a good while come apart and leave a mess to remove. At least that's my experience!!

I use the same method and it works well.

I'm #3 on the oldschool cork. but, I use weatherstrip adhesive to attach them to the covers. No oil or grease, or any sealer used on the head flange side of it.I've reused them many, many times that way.

For me I use the Mopar gaskets that are rubber with the metal insert. I have never had a set leak and they can be used over and over. I can't tell you how many times I've pulled the valve covers off for one reason or another and reused those gaskets.
