Default EWP/Valve cover gasket options

So my Meziere EWP took a dump and my passenger side valve cover is puking oil like a ****. Anyone have any suggestions on a nice thick valve cover gasket? As far as the EWP goes, is the Meziere HD pump the way to go or are there other companies out there making a more stout pump?

Thanks!

Send the pump back to Meziere and have them fix it. I sent my 43GPM back to them for repair when it went out and they replaced it with a 55GPM for no extra charge. i wanna say it was less than $100 to fix including shipping.

never had any issues with the blue felpro gaskets. You have different covers than stock tho. maybe try some rtv on both sides of the gasket?

Tried RTV on them...driver side is holding up fine so far. Felpro is what I am running currently. I'm thinking I just need a thicker style.

for the EWP you can just buy the replacement motors for them. I know that csr at least sells them and you can repair it yourself.

The blue Felpros work well on my eBay covers - not so much on my Canton's though!
