Default Top End Gaskets

Going to replace my valve cover gaskets and my intake manifold gaskets. My pass side valve cover leaks and it looks like my intake gasket leaks a bit too. Any recommendation on what I should check or replace while I have the top end opened up? Also, any recommendations on header gaskets, I have a leak around cylinder 3 and I am probably going to have some down time while I send out my ECM to try and clean things up a bit under the hood.

Felpro is your answer for the intake gaskets and the valve cover gaskets.
Its been a while but if you do a search here you will find the valve cover gaskets. There are two different styles. do a search for my user name and felpro should get you those part numbers.

I'll look at my intake gasket set in the shed and post the part number on it. It comes with enough RTV to do the china walls. I've never had any problems with it leaking after using the RTV and gaskets in the kit.

For the exhaust manifolds do a search for Pearcy and you should find the part numbers for them as well.
