This thread is for 8v applications. What about the PL? I hate leaking =
valve covers. Is there an equivalent application?

The Corrado rubber gasket is DEFINATELY worth it IMO. It's a mere $20 =
for the kit, and in the end I think it saves you money, as you can =
remove and replace the valve cover(to paint it, adjust valves, remove =
head, etc.) and not have to worry about buying a new gasket. My valve =
cover leaked pretty bad, I went through 3 cork gaskets(one using no =
sealer, one using a little sealer, and one using a lot of sealer), and =
none of them even helped slow the leak. I got the rubber one and it =
quit immediately- HTH,=20

Hello,
I have heard that the valve cover gasket from a Corrado is a betetr =
gasket. The studs have to be changed to bolts though, or the other way =
around. Does NE1 know about this mod and is it worth it? I need a VC =
gasket pretty badly.
Should I just put a cork one in there?
thanks
