Does anyone recommend a specific gasket sealer to use on my 216 side cover. I have a 1951 Chevy 3604 with original 216. Any other suggestions or advice are greatly appreciated in advance. Thanks, Jeff.

I like to glue the gasket to the cover with weatherstrip adhesive & let it dry good. I then put a thin film of rtv on the lower edge.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

And don't be really sad if it still leaks a bit. Old Chevy sixes and old Harleys have a lot in common. If they ain't leaking oil they're out of oil. grin

...and like old Harleys, they ain't leakin', they are just markin' their territory.
