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..
