Patrick,I also have Ray's rocker cover and I just switched over to the sil=
icone gasket and found that it seals much better and have less oil seeping=
 around the edges. I used the one for the "original" cover, because it was=
 what I had. It has a flat side and a rounded side side. I used Permatex b=
lue silicone sealant and lightly coated the flat side of the gasket and ad=
hered that to Ray's rocker cover. With the gasket in place, I set the rock=
er cover on a completely flat surface and let it sit for a couple of hours=
, letting the Permatex cure to the cover. I then placed it back on my head=
, tightened it down and didn't run the engine for a day.=C2=A0I was very p=
leased when I did run the engine as to how much better the rocker cover se=
aled to the head. With the cork gasket, I always had a little oil seepage.=
 I have also taken the rocker cover off now maybe three times to adjust my=
 valve clearances and reused the same gasket every time. I was just very c=

Hi,

Just from my own experience:-

Yes, worth it.

Not sure where the issue is here=E2=80=A6if you have an alloy cover, =
like mine, buy the =E2=80=9Calloy cover=E2=80=9D one. If not, buy the =
other one. Presumably there is some small difference in shape.

You need to get the appropriate glue, then stick it permanently to the =
rocker cover. Not easy, as it=E2=80=99s prone to contracting inwards =
along the length of the cover. (Self-explanatory once you=E2=80=99re =
actually doing it.) Do I recall the use of clothes pegs and/or bulldog =
clips? Not sure..)

Anyhow, once it=E2=80=99s on, it=E2=80=99s great. You can take the cover =
off and replace it with confidence. No leaks=E2=80=A6no gloop sticking =
cork to head.

.Worth it. In my opinion at least.

Simon

Like many here, I too have a silicone gasket on my BJ-8, and find it cut =
the leaks down to just about nothing. I have an allot rocker cover and =
did as others have described =E2=80=93 applied silicone sealant between =
the cover and gasket, ensure it sets on an even surface and let it cure =
before use.

=20

The one thing I would do different is I would put blue painters tape all =
around the cover before attempting to apply the silicone sealant. I =
figured I could be careful enough to get none on the cover, but as we =
all really know =E2=80=93 that stuff goes where it wants to go=E2=80=A6

My notes tell me I got the one recommended by Bruce Steel on this list, =
sourced from Alexander Racing Enterprise/Vintage Racers.

Hi,

Yes, worth it.

Not sure where the issue is here=E2=80=A6if you have an alloy cover, like m=
ine, buy the =E2=80=9Calloy cover=E2=80=9D one. If not, buy the other one. =
Presumably there is some small difference in shape.

You need to get the appropriate glue, then stick it permanently to the rock=
er cover. Not easy, as it=E2=80=99s prone to contracting inwards along the =
length of the cover. (Self-explanatory once you=E2=80=99re actually doing i=
t.) Do I recall the use of clothes pegs and/or bulldog clips? Not sure..)

Anyhow, once it=E2=80=99s on, it=E2=80=99s great. You can take the cover of=
f and replace it with confidence. No leaks=E2=80=A6no gloop sticking cork t=
o head.

..Worth it. In my opinion at least.

Agreed.  I spent a lot of time straightening and flattening (?) a cover, 
and it made a huge difference.

Thanks for all the replies.  I'm leaving my cork gasket on for now but will
go with silicone when the cork gets old.  The key is using red RTV
sealant.  Also the Moss silicone gasket appears to be made by Alexander
Racing Enterprises.

The silicon gasket is worth it.

=20

Use RTV to adhere the cork, or silicon gasket, to the rocker cover. Use =
non-hardening Hylomar for gasket to block. I did that with both gasket =
types and did not have any leaks. I currently have a silicon gasket =
installed. I have removed the valve cover several times in the last ten =
years and reinstalled it without removing it from the valve cover. I =
only used Hylomar at the block.

=20

I believe the silicon gasket for the alloy cover is flat on both sides =
because the alloy cover is machined flat, but I am not certain.

=20

Also, as other listers have stated, be certain the steel valve cover =
sets absolutely flat. I had to work the perimeter with metal working =
tools to flatten it. I also had to twist it so is would rest flat.

The cork gasket glued to the valve cover with RTV and a coating of Hylomar
between the cork and the block has stopped any oil leaks on all of my
British sports cars.
