And make sure you specify that you do NOT want a cork felpro gasket. I made that mistake myself.

A cork head gasket? No, indeed not.

Put enough blue rTV on it, like 3 or 4 tubes like most use on a thermostat gasket, and you'd be fine.

Sadly i had to use the one i got. I didnt open the pack until i had the valve cover off.. Had to make use with what i had.

The ONLY way i even got the damn thing to sit in the correct place to seal was to use a good bit of RTV. Hell for the amount i had to use i might as well have just used RTV to seal it up.

That blows! And I have always had much better luck with cork valve cover gasket.

Cork are good if you don't crank down on the bolts as hard as you can.
