Fel-Pro VS 12869 T Valve Cover Gasket Set

You dont need these gaskets on a 305 GM . The GM blogs tell you to just use a good sealer on the cover and put it onHowever these are good gaskets and include the bolt plates.

If you don’t want to use sealant or glue this is the best gasket. I just replaced the set I installed 9 years ago because they were getting hard and starting to weep. Not bad!

AAA+++ THANK YOU

Buen juego de juntas. Se ajustan a la perfección a las tapas de puntería.

Perfect fit for 77' Corvette with GM 5.7L V8 350 Small Block Engine.I replaced the original 1977 Factory GM cork gasket that was crumbling and leaking like a sieve. Even a little bit of oil spread out across an engine looks like a ton. Remember to clean lifter arms / valves from visible build-up and crud / gunk while you have the covers off.Parts cleaner works great at freeing crud and evaporates quickly. I used rags and flat blade screwdriver to clean of old gaskets prior to installation. You want mating surface of valve covers nice and clean for new gaskets. I used a Shop-vac and rags for vacuuming and wiping up any leftover crumbs from the old cork gasket and clumps of grease buildup crud. If valve covers aren't new, use a small hammer to bang out any dips in metal around bolt holes from over-torquing covers prior to installing gaskets. I applied a thin coat of 3M weatherstrip adhesive to the bottom of the valve covers to hold them in place while installing. Don't go overboard with the 3M weatherstrip adhesive or whatever you use, the Fel-Pro gaskets do the job at sealing and the adhesive is simply holds them in place while installing - less is more. When re-installing, don't overtighen bolts, next check for leaks and if there's no leaks then you installed it properly. Fel-Pro is good as gold!Tip: For old valve covers, now is the best time to spray them down with degreaser/soak them in Evaporust and give them a fresh coat of paint prior to putting on the new gaskets and re-installing.
