Need gasket part #

[David Kavanagh]

I have to admit that I really haven't had to return to those places
very often. I know when I've used high temp silicone RTV on exhaust
flanges, it peels off pretty easily. I'm sure this form-a-gasket stuff
wouldn't be as nice to mess with later. I have always been pleased
with how the valve cover gaskets stop leaking after an application of
that stuff!
