Re: Valve cover gaskets 250 6 cylinder
I prefer cork, my ownself.
As for holding the gasket in place, I throw the valve cover bolts away, and put studs in the head(s) then set the gasket(s) on the head. Install the valve cover(s), & secure with nuts & washers. Before I started doing this, I used to put a light coating of bearing grease on the valve cover(s) to hold the gasket in place. The next time it came to changing the gasket(s) there was no scraping to get the "gunk" off.
