Also, a good trick with Small block Ford valve cover gaskets is not to tighten up the cover bolts too much. Barely finger tight and a bit is enough. The steel covers distort easily and rise up almost out of contact between the bolts. The alloy ones crack very easily. It's amazing how well they seal with very little pressure. Good luck with this Brad, and happy knuckle whacking!
