different type of valve cover gaskets? So I bought a set of Canton Racing valve covers. I love them! I'm just having problems with leakage running the stock fel pros. Is there a better gasket I can buy?

Had the same issue last weekend, I picked up a set of cork SBC perimeter bolt gaskets,
trimmed them to fit and they worked perfectly. No stretching, no slipping.
A dab of RTV keeps them inside the VC during installation.

Awesome, thanks man. I tried to google them and nothing came up. Do you mine listing a place where I could pick a set up? I'd really appreciate it.

The autozone guy suggested that I try SBC gaskets and trim them.
The Lt1 gaskets would probably have worked just as well (or better).

Thats what i did when i noticed oil leaking out from under my valve covers. They are good quality a little pricey though at $28 a piece.

Plus "handling fees" 
When ordering from Jegs or Summit, be sure to have a list of all of the stuff you need.
I hate paying stupid fees on cheap stuff I could have got locally for less.
Most parts stores will overnight from their warehouses for you, for free.
