perma dry gasket question

[dan lephart]

The perma dry valve cover gaskets 50156T have two tabs, part of the steel shim, at the bottom that overlap the inside ridge of the cover. These need trimmed off so the gasket fits inside the cover rim??? You would think they should be made to fit without any "modifying"
:biggrin: Thanx in advance - Dan Lephart:biggrin:

Hi,
Yes, you would think so.WTF is going on?

I had to trim mine. I am assuming that they designed them for stamped steel valve covers and never tried them on a set of GN covers. I do love the way they seal and would recommend them to anyone, if you can handle the price...

I used sheet metal snips and trimmed the tabs off. Worked great. NO MORE VALVE COVER LEAK!:wink:
