Chris,
I used Fel Pro silicone and metal valve cover gaskets -- limited use but seem great.

Subject: [GMCnet] Valve Covers
I popped off my leaky valve covers today. No gaskets. Just a thin line of RTV on
he inside and outside edge of the mating surface.
No wonder they leaked. The RTV was crusty by the crossovers.
I realize this is common today, but did GM do this back in the 70's or do you
uys think this was done by someone else. Was this another of GM's ahead of it's
ime engineering?
The Felpro set I got is nice and thick like the diesel pan gasket set, just
ithout the metal.
What is everyone here doing?
