Overall Assessment

Customers praised the Thick Valve Cover Gaskets for their high-quality material and effectiveness at preventing oil leaks. Many users noted their applicability on various engines, including vintage and factory stock motors. The gaskets' extra thickness was lauded for providing necessary clearance, particularly on aftermarket intake and roller rockers. Some customers said the gaskets improved sealing on aluminum valve covers. Despite a few reports of ill fit causing leaks, the majority of users experienced satisfactory results, citing great quality, performance, and value for the price. Customers felt more compelled to repurchase and recommend the product.

Great product, just what I needed

These gaskets were perfect for my application. I race a 1963 Corvette Coupe in Vintage Road Racing. I am using the original Corvette valve covers with an insert to give me more rocker clearance so I need two sets of gaskets for each side. They must be tough, fit well and not leak. Speedway's gaskets met all my requirements and were reasonably priced. Great product.

I wouldn't buy this product again.

Didn't work, valve covers leaked badly. The gasket didn't line up properly in the volt holes so the gasket pinched up which caused a leak. Ended up using rubber gasket with metal inside. Wouldn't recomend.

Bought these to use with stock valve covers and the speedway intake manifold and they worked great. The valve cover bolts can sometimes be a pain to get started but that wouldn't stop me from buying these gaskets again.
