It's too bad we can't get a run of like 1,000 of these types of valve covers made up for us. . .

In 1989, the 2.2/2.5 switched to a reusable one piece gasket (including the Shelby covers). RTV is no longer required at all with them. So you need a gasket for an 89 or newer 2.2/2.5 for your Shelby cover. It is a neoprene type material, and fits in the groove that goes all around the cover. It compresses a little when the cover is bolted down. Works like a charm!
