Default valve cover spacer gasket material
I have a set of UMI valve cover spacers. I would like to buy some extra gasket material for them but can't find it anywhere. Anyone know where to buy it at? Its 1/8in o-ring gasket material that you cut to length. I wish these spacers used the stock type gaskets that would be much easier.

GM engine sealant part #12378521. Its a rtv sealant. Would work great with that design. Same as duramax valve cover.

Get rid of the spacers and use these extra thick gaskets... They make life easy.

How thick are the gaskets? They may be all I would need.

Here you go... No spacers needed with these and they're only $21 + shipping.

I'll have to take my valve covers off and figure out how much space I actually need. I have T&D shaft mount rockers, I think they are a little taller than the yella terras but not much.

We have the replacement gaskets, they are inexpensive. Shoot me a PM and I will get you a price on them Monday or Tuesday.

Thanks!
