I used Mr Gasket Extra thick. But then you will have to have longer bolts.
Or you can just grind the cover down if you want to use the thin gaskets...

Good Luck... Glad to help...

I Degreased, clean and sanded the engine compartment this weekend. After sanding, I shot all the exposed metal with Self Etching primer. Ready for paint.... Once it warms up a bit. Hopefully it will get warm enough today.

I had that problem. Solved it by filing the edge of the valve cover & a little black paint

I haven't gone dead on this build, but it is going to take longer than expected. Wife's daily driver needed to be replaced, so I picked up a car payment... gunna slow the build down a bit. I'll keep posting as things progress.

I don't know, it's probable that this is not the original K-member in my car. I think one of the previous owners had dreams of a drag car, but never finished.
