[Spridgets] Fel-Pro gaskets

[Bud Osbourne]

Paul,
For the past 34 years, I've used whatever my local MG dealer had in stock, 
then, whatever my local parts guy stocked.  However, to really keep things 
relatively leak-free, it's been necessary to replace the valve cover gasket 
each time I've adjusted the valves.  No big deal, really, except that I 
don't get as much free time to play with my cars anymore.
THEN, because the valve cover gaskets on my 356 were such a pain in the butt 
to change, and usually leaked, anyway, I bought a set of Fel-Pro gaskets 
from Vic Skirmants (Vic started having Fel Pro make them up for him, several 
years ago).  Not only do they stay in place on the valve cover, they also do 
not leak and can be re-used for a LONG time.  I just wanted to try them on 
the Midget, too.
