Fel-Pro VS 50443 R is labeled as being for the 92-96 but as you can see there is a noticable difference. Way too skinny to fit snugly in the grooves. I had planned to install dry but I think I would have to totally glue these down to keep in place during install. Kit also included uneeded grommets.



I know starting somewhere in 1993 the composite plastic valve covers were introduced. The 1992 has magnesium ones that are different in several regards

...I should have checked the box a long time ago *sigh*

Those look like the gaskets for the composite covers - they snap into a groove.

but they are sold as 92-96, are people using these for 92's?

I'm thinking about not using them and just RTVing it...

I ran into this same problem when I replaced the valve cover gaskets on my '92 LT1 a couple of months ago. Buy gaskets for a '91 and they will fit perfectly. Fel-Pro part number is VS 50293 R.

Thank you!

Wonder if anyone has in stock. Otherwise I have some The Right Stuff, ought to do the trick

I was just thinking the same thing since he also has the Mg VCs...

I would refrain from using any adhesive or sealant on a PermDry gasket though; better to pick up a set of the '91s and test fit.

Thought I would mention that VS 50088 R is the part # for the PAIR of gaskets, fits perfect. Found them locally the same day, just delay in posting

Mine V/C's are different, but the old and new gaskets looks like the same as in post 1.

I put 'em in with Trans-X, and they swelled up like balloons. I got 'em in the little groove, and seated, and no problems...
