Hi all, just wondering how people are doing there valve cover gaskets? This is relating to a 66 K-Code car. Just wondering about using the standard cork valve cover gaskets offered that have the tabs. I know you have to trim the tabs a touch to get the right look, but what are people doing about mimicking the black top of the gasket that I believe with my discussion with Jeff was some sort of rubberized coating that was applied to the whole cork sheet before they cut the head gaskets out...Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Jason
Using a paint roller might be easiest, one of those small foam ones sold at home improvement/hardware stores.
Since your asking about valve cover gaskets for a Mustang and not a Shelby I would not worry about getting any black on the outer or inner for that matter, edges. That is if your not going with the original sheet metal valve covers Two different animals IMHO
Wow that's an extremely helpful picture Jeff, yeah this is a mustang, but it does have the dress kit on my car, so I still assume they would look like these still, correct? See attached closeup pic of my cars valve covers, this was something you mentioned I should fix when you saw my car at SAAC 43...
