Guys,
My valve cover gaskets are leaking again and I am looking for a very good non OEM replacement. I used the ones for the Lincoln LS v-8 one time and they were better than the paper thin ones that Jaguar offers.
Is anyone aware of quality non oem gaskets so I don't have to do this task every 18 months? I do wish fellpro or someone made a substitue.
Thanks!

 

Is this what you are looking for?

Use the Lincoln LS rubber ones but make sure you install them with all mating surfaces and the gaskets themselves DRY per the Fel-Pro instructions.

 

Another thing that affects the reliability of the seal is the thickness and density of the 28 little rubber isolators under each bolt head. The gasket may have been fine, but the isolators weak. I had to redo valve cover gaskets once after only a short while and found that the isolators that came with the first kit were a hair thinner, much softer and more pliable than the ones that I ordered the second time. I think the first set came from Christophers since it was done with the tensioners. I don't recall where the second set came from as its been too long ago. But its those isolators that provide all the clamping force since you can only turn the bolts in so far.
