<<Thus the bottom of the gasket
remains porous and provides a uniform and long lasting seal on the head. Also,
removing the valve cover just takes a tap with a rawhide hammer and the cork
gasket comes off in one piece -- you don't have to replace it every time you
adjust the valves. This cost savings pays for the boy-racer valve cover in
just 20 or 30 years.
And they look cool, of course.>>
The best pushrod gaskets are the rubber ones available from Australia - they
seal well and can be re-used almost indefinitely. See the NAMGAR classified
fior addresses. And you don't need to use the tacky alloy valve covers.
