Just a quick question about valve cover gaskets.

[LETHAL GTS]

I've got a set of roller rockers on their way and was wondering about the valve cover gaskets. I've never had my valve covers off, so I was wondering if the gaskets are reusable?
You guys here that are doing allot of tuning are you buying new ones (for I think $100.00 a pair), are you just using gasket maker (silicone) instead or are you using the old gasket with gasket maker?

[No Man]

You can use the old gaskets without gasket maker, no problem.

Thanks!
Are they made from a rubber type of material?

Yes Lethal, you'll see when they come off, rubber type with bead, no problem to reuse.

[LETHAL GTS]

Great thanks guys!

Damn...if I would have asked that there would fedex and a host of others would be flaming my ass.


Good Q's though :thumb:


As I found out after taking mine off...yes, re-use is ok.

are you done yet?

I believe you will need to modify the oil baffles in the valve covers for the 1.7 rockers to clear.

Don't remove the baffles completely.
