Default Where to find the best gaskets?

My 1976 V12 needs new water pump gaskets and new valve cover gaskets.
Where can I find the best quality gaskets,preferably Goretex or Silicone?

Thanks,

Andy

A lot of the later gaskets should fit wouldn't they? Jaguar updated a lot of the gaskets for the later production, but I don't know if those in particular were updated to the black ones. Other option is to use Loctite 515 or 518 flange sealer, that works well.

Use the genuine Jaguar Gortex gaskets.

Agreed,

BUT

The water pump plate to water pump will be a no show, as the pump needs disassembly to fit it. The Loctite, squirted in that area is all you can do.

OR

New pump, comes with plate fitted with a new gasket, AND, a mounting gasket as well.

Pump to timing cover, and cam cover, simple, from the OE suppliers that support this Forum. Aftermarket, NOPE.
