    Valve Cover gaskets

    Anyone have a source for them? I'm not ready to spend $100+ for V/C gaskets lol.

    What site? You'd save $5 going to a dealer, not sure if or what you'd save threw Cindy when you add in shipping.

    I've been thinking that when the time comes, assuming cheap replacements are not available, that I would use O-ring material to make my own. Might be an option, the O-ring material and glue are available via McMaster Carr.

    I've been told someone is looking into other options on these. Hopefully that becomes true and there is a major price difference.

    Here is the site.http://www.wholesalemopar.com/index.html

    I did a brief look and I think my dad was mistaken, the price is a little cheaper but not as much as he told me. I saw them for $49.13

    Re: Valve Cover gaskets

    I ordered two sets of TIII valve cover gaskets from wholesalemopar.com on March 21st and recieved them today. They are the right gaskets; no problem there, but for the price w/shipping I should have just bought them from FWDP.
