Re: valve cover gaskets

I second that!! The Moroso rubber gaskets are awesome! Stock gaskets on Merc motors are very good as well! I prefer rubber over cork.

Rubber over metal, nothin else lasts, and they don't leak.

Re: valve cover gaskets

I think I had the Moroso gaskets a few years ago,,,,,, they were blue rubber with metal in the middle. After about 1 season the rubber split open, I tried using rtv to get by, I said F#$K it and switched back to cork. Never had any oil leak problems since..

Rubber over metal! They are black and not Moroso and I've had them for several years, on several sets of heads, and NEVER had a leak. --- JP

Re: valve cover gaskets

I think these are the ones that I had. I didn't have very good luck with them for some reason.

Re: valve cover gaskets

Stock GM/MERC rubber over steel gaskets are great.
