I just got new set of fel-pro valve cover gaskets for 70 Gs. I have a 73ā 455 which is in the car currently The valve cover gaskets I got are too wide for the slots in the valve covers. They are a cork type gasket. Anyone ever run into this before?
Assuming they are the right gaskets and they line up somewhat...the tabs for the valve covers are usually cut in like maybe 3/16" on each tab, on the side of the tab. They are like perforated to hold the gasket to the cover. Geez' I don't know if you can follow what I'm saying! Like each tab is like a "T". In any event, the tabs are only to hold the position of the gasket to the cover. Some people cut them off.
