Default Re: Need some Critique on my 69

The silver colored valve cover gaskets noted that the motor was a high perf. motor.. Just don't make the same mistake I did.. After adjusting the rockers (due to the solid lifter cam) I made the mistake of painting both sides of the cork gasket silver. I had one hell of a time getting the valve covers back off the head about a year later when I went back to adjust the rockers again.. The paint on the cork gaskets stuck to the head surface like super glue.. Only paint the side that will be mating to the valve cover itself..

Classic Industries sells the silver colored gaskets but I was not going to spend that kind of money.. Going to the parts store and picking up an inexpensive cork set and buzz can them silver is the way to go....

Engine bay looks great!!
