Well i broke down and spent some dough on a nice Offy polished valve cover this past week. Now i need to know what else do i need for install, it came w/ the stud kit but do i need some kind of seals in the top two holes where the studs run through? I've got a new cover gasket and new acorn nuts for the studs too. This is going on our 1959 Chev apache truck, it has a 261 w/ a 235 head. I've also read that sometime a clearance issue w/ the thermostat housing can cause issues so i have a spacer ready if needed to bring the housing out and away from the cover if needed. Thanks for any information from any one that has been down this road. headscratch thumbs_up
