Hello Members, I own a 1984 BMW 325e with a 2.7 liter engine. What is the best valve cover gasket manufacture (besides BMW) out there. I already have four new rocker shaft plugs. Thank you

The OEM valve gasket often leaks oil.
Victor Reinz's gasket actually has an additional rubber layer.

I would use silicone on both sides.
Again, Victor Reinz's Reinzosil is good.
I would also use silicone around the rubber plugs.
But it's relatively easy to change the valve gasket later on if it leaks.

Most of them, including OEM, are made of cardboard-like material. Silicone really helps with them.
Some people say that the Goetze gasket is better.
