Re: [Amc-list] Doh question again - valve cover gasket?

[Glen Hoag <hoag@xxxxxx>]

There is supposed to be a rubber gasket that fits in a slot that runs 
around the rim of the valve cover on the 195.6 engines.  It would 
normally be retained in the cover, so you may not have noticed 
it.  FelPro still makes it; P/N VS5268R, which includes replacement 
grommets for the hold-down screws.  $5.99 at RockAuto.
