Currently on closeout at Rock Auto for $3.61
Rubberized Cork with steel stiffener.
The package says it fits both 403 and 455.
I just put a set on a 403. I lightly siliconed the valve cover side and used the bolts to line it up. Turned it over and let it sit on a flat surface overnight to cure. (with the bolts still inserted to maintain alignment.)
Do not apply and sealer on the engine side when installed. That makes them easily removable and reusable in the future.
Use of the bolt spreaders is optional. Also available from Rock Auto under "tools". I did not use them but they are a great idea.
I ought to order an other set as a spare.
