Valvecover gasket
has anyone here replaced their valve cover gaskets? if so do you have part numbers or diy info? I couldn't find a valve cover gasket online.
replaced my spark plugs today and noticed some leakage from the valve covers. hoping to do this fix soon.

Most older motors just had cork gaskets with some kind of sealant, or nicer material Fel-Pro type gasket material which was rubbery in texture and very resistant to thermal cycling and exposure to oil, etc.. Gasket liquid works fine, but requires decent prep and a decently steady hand so as to not make a mess or waste material, etc..
If the job is done right, it will probably never have to be done again assuming nothing internal breaks, etc.. The good quality gasket liquid is impressive in performance but does require a bit more prep to do a proper job in my experience.
Good luck with the job, mebbe post a pic or two if possible.
