Hi All,
I am going to be replacing my valve cover gaskets and reading up on FTE says I should go with the rubber ones instead of the cork ones. I was checking on Rock Auto.......do you recommend Felpro or APEX ones?
I've used the felpro set a few times and am happy with them.
Even though they are rubber I use a thin film of silicone on each side of the gasket, it's not technically "needed" with rubber gaskets buts it's cheap insurance, especially if you have excessive blow by.
I've used the cork and the rubber ones. never really had problems with either, but then again, I end up f'ing around with my van so much that I usually replace them before their lifespan has typically ended.
