Re: [Amc-list] how abrasive are ground up black widow spiders?

[Russell Neyhart <rtneyhart@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    Hmmm... maybe their squishy insides might provide some sort of 
lubrication to overcome the abrasive outsides.  Now, if you could only 
chase some into the rest of the push rod holes...  Can't be worse than 
the sludge buildup shown on valve heads on TV!

    Speaking of heads, I got to cleaning up my back "porch" and came 
across a valve cover gasket that I have yet to return.  This thing is 
listed for a 258 up to 1990.  My '88 Eagle had an aluminum valve cover 
gasket with the 4.0 bolt pattern (15? bolts - I can't remember) - 
something like twice the number of holes.  Did all of the cars (& Jeeps) 
from about '87 up use the 4.0 style valve cover & gasket?  Is this a 
"typo" on Fel-Pro's part?
