    N/A Valve cover gasket? or Not?

    I know on the turbo cars you just use the end seals and RTV.
    What about the non-turbo cars?
    Note: I just replaced the head gasket on a 93 Acclaim, and want to finish it tomorrow.

    I just use the end seals on all of the two piece gaskets. RTV for the long sides.

    You buy valve cover gasket according to the valve cover, not according to the engine.

    Of course.....thats why I was asking. I rarely work on a N/A car with the stamped metal valve cover.
