Rocker Cover Gasket...

Share this page

Sounds like a splended plan.
 
Been using Avaiation Form-A-Gasket on the valve cover for years. VC leaks are not a issue here.
 
Yes it is. If you let the Gorilla apply it...
 
Yep, I've used gorilla snot as well, also have used rubber cement and Black RTV (Black RTV is the only kind of silicone I use on anything, after trying everything known to man on the race cars, it's the stickiest for sure) all of the above have worked good for me. This is always a much greater concern when using a aluminum valve cover instead of the stock tin one, the aluminum one don't retain the gaskets near as well and much more care needs to be taken.
 
When I go to the parts store and ask for 'Gorilla Snot', will they know what I mean?
 
You may get looked at "funny" if the place is staffed with 'youngins'. Same for "weasel pi**" ("loose juice"-- PB Blaster, etc.).

First time I heard the term "weasel p***" was from my grandmother! She was referencing WD-40. A classic moment.

Man, the things you learn here.
 
If it's yelow, it's gorilla snot. Any other color, it's elephant snot.
Basicaly, it's any of the industrial strength contact cement. There is usually 8 or more varities at your local Home Depot type joint.
