Where is a good source for OEM style (cork/vinyl composition)???? I cannot get good gaskets locally. I almost lost the engine in my '71 yesterday on the way home from work. Valve cover decided to start leaking while I was making an 70-80 mph run home from work. Luckily, when I stopped at the bank, I had to walk around the back of the car. There was a stream of oil on the pavement where I had just pulled in. Luckily also, I carry 2 quarts of oil in the car. It was 2 quarts low. It was an expensive oil leak, since I use Mobil 1 at almost $4 quart. I was able to get the last 5 miles home at a LOT slower speed, to keep minimum oil up in the valve covers.
