Snaggletooth Posted October 16, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 16, 2009 If anybody is looking for valve cover gaskets there is a listing for them on ebay now for a fair price and cheap shipping. It's a Buy it Now for NOS and take as many as you want. There were three left a little bit ago. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200393189413&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Just FYI.

Yammer Dan Posted October 16, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 16, 2009 Great Price. Shame they weren't 1st Gens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheradan Posted November 3, 2009 Share #3 Posted November 3, 2009 Babbitts has 2nd gen for $20.45 and 1st gen for a couple bucks more. There are guys on ebay right now trying to get $58 + shipping for a set. I'm glad 2nd gen will work on an 86. That will be my choice if it's easier.

skydoc_17 Posted November 5, 2009 Share #6 Posted November 5, 2009 That $20.45 price is for a SINGLE Valve cover gasket. You need two to do the job. With shipping, you'll be $50.00 into the two gaskets. Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyRich Posted November 5, 2009 Share #7 Posted November 5, 2009 You guys might ask Kent (V7Goose). He was getting them for like 17.50 a piece from his local dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted November 5, 2009 Share #8 Posted November 5, 2009 You guys might ask Kent (V7Goose). He was getting them for like 17.50 a piece from his local dealer. I just picked up another set (2ea.) on Ebay for $22.50. With shipping it came to $27.45. So far all the suggestions here about where to get them are way over that....??? Unless you need them in a hurry I'd suggest waiting around for them to show up for auction on Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingy Posted November 5, 2009 Share #9 Posted November 5, 2009 Will 2nd gen gaskets work on an 83 VR? I know the 83 model year had some differences from the later years. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yammer Dan Posted November 5, 2009 Share #11 Posted November 5, 2009 2nd Gen Gaskets are easier to use on 1st gens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share #12 Posted November 5, 2009 Yeppers the 2nd gen valve cover gaskets work fine on the 1200 1st gen. I bought a set for the 1300 off the Bay a while back and they threw me off a little bit when I got them. They look a bit different with the wider side plugs and the lip that hangs out but they are a perfect seal and they do install easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
