The F body ones are great to use on an NA motor. Being that this topic is in the SC'd area, it's good to note that the VC's are different from NA to SC and not interchangable.

(Hope that doesn't mess with your plan in the spring)

Got the Valve cover off cleaned everything off and found, at the top of the cover where it molded around the fuel injectors, the material is thin and brittle. This has got to be why it is leaking again. There are rub marks where the injector sits too.

gonna have to get it good enough until I can get new covers. local auto parts don't have them.

Will install the felpros gasket set with RTV and hopefully that will keep it.

Any body know a good place to get replacements that are not overly expensive?

dont get new covers unless they are broke. Just get BETTER gaskets.
