I have a GM valve job gasket kit for big blocks at home. I don't have the part number handy. Just wondering if the NOS silver valve cover gaskets, head gaskets etc were any thing of real value....

Write it off! worth nothing.

Then put it on eBay and see what happens, fun to watch. Entertainment is priceless, this is a good time of year to sell.

Good luck.

a fool and his money....I agree some idiot would buy it.

The original cork v/c gaskets that old are always dried up, shrunk and hard as a rock. Then you try to stretch them to make them fit and they just break and disintigrate. I think someone on here mentioned soaking them in something first to make them more pliable. But when you can go buy a set for a few bucks at the NAPA and shoot 'em with silver paint, why bother?

The other gaskets (metal head gaskets, compound intake gaskets, and rubber pan gaskets and valve seals) are usually still good though, and could be worth a good bit depending on the part # on the package and the year of manufacture.

Good luck!

Agreed....I didn't use them on my car either. I bought felpro.

Ebay is where you need to put them. Time to do a little fishin'.

Start the bidding as cheap as you can stand, then wait for all the people that fall all over themselves trying to get you to end the auction early. I think you'll be amazed at the money they bring if you run the auction full term.
