Default Are Perimeter valve cover gaskets same as Certer Bolt gaskets ?

98s use perimeter valve covers....

Do these use the same gaskets as the ones used on the 99 and above center bolt valve covers?

If not, anyone know the P/N for the center bolts gaskets?

Thanks,
Ron (98 TA)

No, I have no idea what "Certer" bolt gaskets are.

I just can't type tonight! <img border="0" alt="[kaboom]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bomb.gif" />

nope they're different. sorry but i can't help you with the part #.
when installing the new gaskets , i recomend cleaning the valve cover with solvent. or better yet drop it in the dish washer . this gets the oil out from the groove and insures that the gasket stays there.

George...

I was given P/N 12560696 for the 98 perimeter bolt valve cover gaskets.

You have a different number.

Could my number be for the center bolt gaskets?

Ron, Dug here. I ordered my valve covers from valvegod, and he's supplying the gaskets as well . . .
