    that go on the valve cover/tray ends? Using a bit of teflon tape now, but want to replace them all eventually...

            I got a set of the aluminum ones... they have a lip on both sides, mine would not fit until I ground off the inside lip with a dremel. Then they fit perfectly. Unfortunately two are leaking (very slightly) but I think that's my fault. I used black RTV on them, I am thinking of replacing that with JB weld or something next time I do my valves.

              Well i had a decent leak in one after doing the valve adjustment, but i took steves advice and used some teflon tape on it, worked like a charm. And thanks to chef i found new ones..they'll be goin in this winter for sure..:-D

                ULTRA BLUE also works a treat under the seals.
