I was amazed to find these original valve cover gaskets are steel, with just a thin inner lip of rubber. They adhered VERY well to the covers & heads. I'm seriously considering reusing them, if I can't buy identical replacements. The intake gaskets were graphite, which I know I can buy (Mahle MS15202W). The end seals were molded rubber, which is also tempting to reuse.

Note the valley spider for the roller lifters.

The front 2 intake manifold bolts broke off due to rust.

Turns out these valve cover gaskets (Mahle VS50203) ARE still available, but I reused these anyway, after cleaning & painting the steel frames.
