Does anyone know where to get a better valve cover gasket than the cheesey ass cork one? or a better way to seal it?

You can get a rubber gasket one, you need differant studs too. I *think* its from a g60

you can use a rubber gasket from a corrado g60, some places won't list the rubber gasket, at napa they list the cork on for the corrado, but it shoul dbe the rubber one.   i haven't had any trouble with the cork...  just when its over tightened it likes leaking

i don't like the cork ones. and it's leaking bad so i have to replace it. plus i need to adjust valves and don't want to keep getting gaskets.
