Victor has a cork faced valve cover gasket for the FE with a steel inner liner to keep it rigid and in place. Nice part that nobody knows about. Use the gray RTV - Motorcraft or alternative - the gray is oil resistant and dries firmer for a stronger seal. I try to snip off any gasket that protrudes above the rail. I use the RTV very lightly on both sides of the gasket. Can somebody please explain why they have three bolts on the upper side of the cover and only two on the lower end?
