Bolt-on rocker cover gaskets for Racetrim/ DDS covers?

[Deanodynosaurs]

Just a quick question.

Does anyone know what rocker cover gasket DDS/ Racetrim rocker covers use? They seem to have a groove in them which suggests they use non standard gaskets? (See pic). If so where can I get these from, perferably in the UK.

Thanks in advance.

    This one use a regular gasket the grove is probably to keep the gasket in place without shifting side to side. I have use this type of valve cover in the past and only use the regular gasket with no problem.

Go stock, "glue" it on the valvecoverside and youre done.

    Everyone has their own way I myself have never put any type of sealer and they never leak when you go to change them it takes for ever to clean the covers.

I've used grease rather than glue before, and it seams to work very well, and is much easier to clean up! Just a thought though Dude, are the new Revmaster valve covers as seen in the magazines this month similar? might be worth looking into those?

[Deanodynosaurs]

Hi Neil! Good to see you the other weekend! Great news as well!

Looked at the revmaster ones, and they seem to use a rubber seal that lips around the edge of the rocker cover, like the empi rocker covers. They wont work on these type of rocker covers.

However, CSP rocker covers have a similar groove in the mating faces, and they use a vitone seal, a thin round rubber seal, so perhaps this is another option.
