Valve cover gaskets?????

[rob83srv225]

I noticed over the weekend that i have a small valve cover leak, and was wondering if i should use the cork, or the rubber valve cover gasket set. Just wondering which one would be better......:smt100

Definitely, definitely use Fel-Pro marine rubber gaskets and nothing else. They are a soft "silicone-ish" rubber that won't leak.

GREGG,

Was comming of the lake and shut her down at the dock, and could smell oil burning, so i removed the eng. cover and started looking. I found the leak, although very small, still a leak,want to take care of it this week, so im going to replace them both, and be done with it.....

Chris,

ABYC standards do not permit the use of cork in a marine application. The risk is fire

I use Fel Pro exclusively on the boat and on my cars. I don't like doing the same job twice. :smt021
