Yup, the Ultra-seals are good.

Try to find them locally though, it will prolly be cheaper than paying $10 for them along with Jeg's $7.95 "handling fee".

Re: Are these good valve-cover gaskets?

Matt, whats going on these days!?? Get your exhaust figured out? I see you are getting a valve job done cause you said you are getting new seals. Are you porting and polishing your heads too? Im doing mine probably saturday. Found a dude through a friend that will do both heads for only 150. THats a complete valve job, and checking for warpage / machining them down. gotta figure out my porting and polishing though. Maybe ill try that myself.

Hey John.. whats going on? Yes, I did get the exhaust figured out.. I just need the money and I am going to begin on it. I am going to do SOMTHING with my heads.. at this point in time, I am unsure as to what. Did you do your port/polish, or no?

First, those are used only for 87 and up centerbolt heads.
Second, they do not last forever, they will eventually come apart.
