Trying to seal up some of the oil leaks on my 292 and was going to re-seal the side covers. I can't locate cork gaskets up here in my immediate area just the Fel Pro 13315R rubber gaskets. Anybody had good luck using these? What did you put them on with contact cement or silicone or something else?
Thanks

I used a super thin film of high temp rtv on the cover just to keep the gasket in place. no leaks since. you can very easily use too much rtv. just a super thin film. enough to barely hold the gasket in place.

was that with the rubber or cork gaskets?

Before I try to fix ANY leaking sheet metal valve cover I put a deep well socket (about 3/4) on an extension and clamp it in my vise. Then I turn the valve cover upside down, place it against the socket by each hold down hole and gently tap the surface around the bolt hole flat. They have a tendency to get distorted due to over torqueing them or just repeated tightening.

The rubber Felpro gaskets are better than the cork ones I.M.O.

Ditto on the rubber being better.

OK I have a set of the rubber and will put them on. What o you think of the aluminum finned side covers? They are an option for me as well. Bought them off Tom a few years ago......

I used the felpro rubber gaskets on my sidecovers with no silicon and I have no leaks as all. Works better than cork imop. tj

I have used the rubber with 3M weather strip adhesive with good luck.

@ GMDad I have the rubber ones
