Valve Cover Seals

[wible152]

I have a 1995 ATX. I need the dome shape rubber seals that hold the valve covers on. I am unable to get them from my local dealership. Anyone know where I can get them?

Are you talking about the seals that the bolts go through?

i believe thats what he means. if so, their discontinued. if you looking for plug well seals, you can get them from RCM. http://home.earthlink.net/~rcm_automotive/index.html

I am talking about the ones that the bolts go through. Mine are leaking.

RCM is where I got mine with valve cover gaskets. Easy job, the rear can be a little fussy removing it. Make sure you have a really good quality 5mm allen socket. I broke two of my cheap one an finally went to Sears a bought a good set.

The seals you are referring to come with the valve cover bolts and have not been available separately as far as I know. Since I just performed my 6th valve gap adjustment last weekend, I found that some of the bolt seals are quite hard and not up to their task. I used a very light coating of Permatex Ultra Grey silicone on the valve cover where the seals sit and between the seal's upper surface and the underside of the chrome plated washer.

The Fel-Pro VS50378R Valve Cover and Plug Well Seal set is still $71.99 from either AutoZone or AutoZone.com.

It's still amazing to me to see the valve train of that SHO engine after 344,250 miles.
