i found 3 types of rocker cover gaskets
the original cork gasket, a rubber gasket and a silicone gasket.
Does anyone have experiences with the rubber or silicone rocker cover gasket?
The cork gasket should be known....
sorry i dont find the link to the rubber gasket....
here a link to a silicone gasket (for example)

I appreciate your comments
regards

Joachim,
I can recommend the rubber gaskets-only because I make them and also the the rubber tappet chest rubber gaskets.
Silicone is in my opinion not the right material due to it's oil resistance.

Re: Thoughts about rocker cover gasket
Maurice,
If you look at this chart you will see that silicone is "unsatisfactory" for applications with lubricating oils.

My gaskets are made from NBR.

Re: Thoughts about rocker cover gasket
Yes, interesting info. So, best to keep the silicone sealant for bathrooms, then, I guess...
