Guest hditkof Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 My mechanic is telling me that I need to replace the valve cover gaskets and tube seals asap. A couple of yeas ago, someone tried to make the valve cover gaskets without much success. 1989 16 valve. The car has not had much done to it since I brought it down to Hemi about 5 years ago. Any help on the gaskets would be appreciated. Thanks. Howie (howie@j-sequipment.com) 925-686-0471 (Walnut Creek, CA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinCamFan Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Yeah put me down for a set if you can find some <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I dropped out of bidding on an Ebay gasket only no tube seals whe it hit over $300. Never seen one before or since there... <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCParts Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 RTV sealant has worked fine for two of my 16v engines for many years. Rick Diogo has 16v parts for sale or he may be able to find an alternative. His contact information is in the TC America newsletter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tripblk16v Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Got my valve cover gasket from Rick D http://www.rdiperformance.com/ last year,it was used but worked with no trouble and paid a fair price,used is better than nothing.So you may ask what else he has,but be careful because you'll want it all,when you find out. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
