Valve Cover Gasket Recommendation
 
What is the best valve cover gasket manufacture / source for Australia and the slow mail system

Any particular engine?

For the AJ16, only the OEM works well. I have found that aftermarkets are all too long. They work, but man is it a pain to put on.

For spark plugs, URO seems to work just as well as OEM.

i brought mine from jag daim.
not sure if one can get better price elsewhere but they seem to be ok.
i think it is the URO rubbers they stock.
they currently don't have the cam bolt gaskets listed
or the spark plug seal gaskets listed.
but they should have them

you can call them and ask.
they can look by car model and part.
but obviously best if you supply them part number

they ship quick.
they are in melbourne and if i order in the morning i can have it in sydney the next day.
shipping has always been 1-2 days from them thats it

i know exactly who is is asking for.. lol
someone local who just picked up a XJR.

i can't remember the brand on the cam cover seal from these guys.
i know the radiator top mount rubbers i just bought from them were URO
but i do know it fitted fine.
i put some RTV on the cover, around the edge for the cam seal and around the spark plug wells, waited a little bit, flipped it over and put it on.
so far no issues with leaking.
that was maybe november last year i did it?
