What are your favorite 318 valve covers?

How does the gasket work with those long bolts on those valve covers?

Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but I just don't care for those style. I guess if you can use high lift rocker arms with out any interference, but I prefer my valve covers with a "lip flange" for the gasket.

Oh, they are so much fun.
The lack of a lip makes it so much more interesting, well that and the fact that the fabbed covers are flat and 318 heads are not.

You lay one of those fabbed covers on a 318 head and push down on the end of the cover and see what happens.
The other end pops up about 1/4 inch.

It takes some creative RTV work, and not making a mess with it is even more interesting.
Bone dry, and zero visible RTV on the first try though.

It has headers and yellow 8mm Accel wires now.
