Best 383 valve cover gaskets to stop all the leaking

famous bob said
Ur covers are kick a$$, but w/ raised port heads , and 2'' headers , all those soft gaskets burned up on mine. The only ones that have stood up are hughs burn proof and a pair of hard felpro gaskets that look and feel just like the hughs gasket , since I removed the dam header wrap, (I hate that stuff) , still have to tighten the covers down after a few heat cycles , a little titer than a guy can tighten a screw driver . Running crankcase vacuum helps a "WHOLE " BUNCH !

Yeah if the headers are close to the gasket then that will kill them quick. I had a car like that once so started using the Mopar motor home exhaust gaskets. The motor home exhaust gaskets have a built in heat shield that protects the valve cover gaskets. It doesn't totally solve the problem but it helps the gaskets live for a year or so rather than just one race.
