What are you guys using for the seals where the two bolts go through the valve cover? I tried to get the originals and was told they are not available.

I used drilled out beveled faucet washers. Anything better?

I try not to use anything EMPI so this may not apply but with Bugpack and CB bolt ons I use 887 O-rings and flat washers. Works great.

Engine gasket sets come with O-rings that are the correct size.
Find someone with a leftover kit.
NOt even sure what they were supposed to be for.
I just know that they work.

I googled 887 O ring and got a 10" O ring:)

What is it?

I found them in the sprinkler/irrigation parts at the Deep Homot.

I use case sealing washers on the inside and a rubber backed washer on the outside.
