dingy Posted February 3, 2013 Share #2 Posted February 3, 2013 Question are the valve cover gaskets the same for a second gen as the first? Been told to put the second gen on my 1993 are they better??? Yoop They are interchangeable. 2nd gens have 'tabs' on them that make it a little easier to install. They are a little on the ugly side with the tabs that stick out. On an RSV, the tabs are covered by the chrome valve cover caps. I could send you a picture of a set setting on the Hybrid I am building if you want to see them. I have a set of 2nd gens laying on bench in garage.

dingy Posted February 3, 2013 Share #3 Posted February 3, 2013 Some pictures attached. These are on a VMax head and valve cover that is being cleaned up for powder coating. I think the 1st gens are fine. With either one, a little sealant in the cover helps hold them in place. They do need to be checked all around before tightened down to make sure they didn't slip, especially to the inside. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
