Which Valve Cover Gaskets are the best for our cars. Your opinions greatly appreciated

 

Well all I can say is I've owned 4 Crossfires and the best I got was from Rob at NeedsWings !!

dcskmail, you have been asking about this for awhile now; Have you searched leaking valve in the search box? There are many pictures and explanations on this subject here on the forum.
Go to any online Mercedes parts seller and you can find the originals for under $20 each. Those are the best in my opinion. The small upper covers do not have gaskets, only the lower, larger covers use gaskets and each side has it own specific gasket. To do the job right you really should do it yourself as most professional are to time sensitive to clean and allow proper drying to take place. The lower half of the large covers are always submerged along the edge in oil even when the engine is off and the car has sat for awhile as oil will puddle along the edge. When I replaced mine, about six years ago after cleaning thoroughly, I wiped a very thin coating of non-harding permatex along the lower halves of the engines seating surface just to give the gasket better adhesion. No leaks in the past six years.
