Anyone have any experince with the composite style Valley cover vs. the old metal Buick/Olds style? Looks like it might be a little easier on the heads and intake without brinelling the sealing surface. Do they seal well?

They do make a better seal and hold up to crankcase pressure. Best thing is they don't rust like the tin ones. Make sure either way to use the newer 4.0/4.6 end seals. They seal better in the corners.
