Valve cover gasket supplier?

I'm trying to track down a supplier of the reinforced neoprene vc gaskets I've seen in threads here - can anyone tell me who that might be? These'd be for a CB 2110 - is there anything in particular I need to ask for (i.e., a particular year)? Thanks!

Since you mentioned CB, why don't you try them first? http://www.cbperformance.com/

There are basically two styles of gaskets for your 2110.

The first style is the one almost nobody has and is the "C-channel" gasket. This is the gasket that fits the CB Performance custom valve covers that chances-are you don't have. The only reason I mention it is just so you know that it exists, just in case . . .

Everyone else uses the standard valve cover gasket that looks something like rubberized cork (Don't get the ones that are solid rubber). The "cork" gaskets fit all clip-on valve covers (painted steel, stainless steel and finned aluminum). The gaskets also fit the bolt-on version of the finned aluminum covers. Its a 99.99% chance you want the "cork" gasket. They've got 'um at CB, search for: valve cover gasket.


PS: Change the gasket every time you pull the valve covers for routine valve adjustment. In other words, buy the bag of 10 gaskets.

Mark - thanks!

I just buy mine at the local autoparts store. Standard VW gaskets. But like Mark said, be sure they have the cork ones.

Dennis, I coat my cork gaskets with silicone bought from the local auto parts store. Never had a leak and I can reuse the gaskets after valve adjustments.

Joe, do you give that gasket sealant a little "cure time" before pressing it into service? In my Corvair days, I found that an overnight cure, before exposure to hot engine oil, went a long ways towards keeping the oil in, and the outside dry.
