Default Where to find gaskets?

Hey all-

I want to rip off the cam covers and paint them, but I want to replace the gaskets when I do the re-install. ANyone know of a website that stocks them or where to purchase them from?

you don't need to replace them. they're not like old valve cover gaskets, they're actually a rubber seal that fits in a groove in the cover. They are really nice seals, and re-usable. Just make sure you torque the bolts properly when you re-install. You should never have a leak issue.

+1 I reused mine after painting. No problems.
