RUBBER

Never had a problem with them leaking...and they're 1-time reusable if you
flip them over.

Subject: DML: Rubber or Cork Valve cover gasket?

Hey, I am doing 1.6 chevy 3/8 roller rockers in my dakota (I'm gonig to
have
4 extra.. anyone with a 4 cylinder want to run rollers on their exhaust
valves? hehe) anyways...

I have the option of a napa cork valve cover gasket: $23.??

and a o'reily fel-pro rubber one for: 39.99

Should I go with the rubber one? Does the rubber distort after use? Also,
with roller rockers. am I going to have to "fine tune" them? or should
torqueing them down correctly in the beginning cover it with the hydraulic
lifters?
