Default Canton valve cover owners come inside!

Do people still have issues getting these to seal? Using Felpro gaskets I have had 0 luck getting mine sealed atop LE2 heads..

Any thoughts or tips are welcome and needed...

This has been such a pain that I would also be open to any alternative vc options that would clear my Comp 1.6:1 RR's.

When I had Cantons, I used cork gaskets with no issues.

Extra thick perimeter cork trimmed and hitacked to valve cover = no leaks

I'm using stock GM gaskets, no leaks with my Cantons but they were a pain to seat properly. Nothing Fel-Pro makes that I could find would fit properly so I reused my stock ones, which were still in good shape.

Definitely would/ will go with cork next time.

Fel Pro 1648 Mine leak atm, but i wrested them in and probably caused it myself. New gaskets on order, most places around me are 50 plus, summit is 35.

Comp 1.6 should fit under the stock cover. I run the Proform 141-131 myself, they make covers for the GM performance line. There are several available now.https://www.proformparts.com/categor...k_Valve_Covers
