They do work on stamped steel valve covers on the bottom and that's where most of leakage problems occur. The best stock stamped valve covers came on marine engines; heavier guage and precision fit. They do not warp, clear most rocker arms including T&D, Jesel. They's just not glamorous enough for the up to the fence people.
