Default Aluminium plug wire seperators

I like the look of the aluminium plug wire seperators but will the metal cause any problems with the wires? I have 10mm plug wires.

Use zip ties.

Zip ties might be to trailer park. I think I will order some black aluminum ones from eBay. My wires are red so black will look the best I think.

Default Valve cover gaskets which ones don't leak?

Which valve cover gasket to buy? Which ones don't leak or less likely to leak?

I routed mine using Moroso brackets. I love them. Keeps the plug wires away from touching the valve covers and it gives for a clean look.

They make plastic ones like those red, just can't let them get too close to the exhaust heat or they warp and come off. I like the plastic separators with zipties to hold them in places so I can just quick cut them loose and take the cover off faster.
