Valve Cover Gaskets?

[Airedale From NY]

Going to purchase a new set and just want to make sure the regular Buick GN valve cover gaskets work ok on the Trans Am.

I am not positive but I don't think the GN valve cover gaskets are the same?

 

[TeeTopZ]

The valve covers themselves are different, so I'd presume the gaskets are as well

Yep, TTA has fwd heads

The GN and TTA heads are miles apart in design.

That is what I thought, so is there any recommendations as to brand and vendor?

If you do a search on ebay for the original GM part number # 25518526 you will find the correct gaskets being Felpro and others along with some GM NOS gaskets

Victors are good!View attachment 7295View attachment 7295

I've used both, Victor and felpro. Victors seemed more robust, if that makes sense and less prone to crush.
Victor brand is sometimes hard to find though. Frankly, I don't think amounts to a hill of beans which you uses. Just torque the acorn nuts to spec and no more.

Thanks guys.

I was thinking the same thing Robert! Come on down WS6 we got a bowl of grits and sweet tea for you!

 

[WS6]

Sweet tea...yes....Grits??? not so much

 

[TTA984]

Too be honest I hate girts also! Some like them though.

rockauto.com seems to have the best prices, they even have the victors, as well as the fel pros at good prices.
