Gasket materials used by FoMoCo
Does anyone know what year Ford began using advanced gasket/seal materials? Cork was the preferred valve cover gasket until ____? I remember using an advanced Felpro head gasket in the mid-70s.

Re: Gasket materials used by FoMoCo
Not sure about the year but I've recently been buying gaskets to reseal my '64 430 and all I'm finding is cork and paper, mostly from Fel-Pro and Mahle. I did find a boutique gasket maker in Cali called Best Gasket though. I have some of their products on the way including a neoprene rear main seal so I'll be able to see how their quality compares to the big names soon.
