change of front cover head gasket

[Humberty]

Hi All,

What is the easiest way to change the head cover headgasket ?

I have a pretty oil tight engine ( I believe) elsewhere but the front head cover gasket is so deteriorated it doesn't hold oil at all, it feels like if would be no worth without it.

I have an engine that was rebuilt (professionally ) 3 years ago with ARP studs (not bolt) and was wondering if these need to be change if I remove the head from the block ?
I believe the bloc, head and cam cover have all had a skim pass.

I also wonder if there is a better newer way to seal that and replace the cork material with some Viton based seal ?

Also shall I plan for replacing the head gasket as well ? the last that was ordered was a 0.051" 84 Cometic, I guess this is multi-shim.
I also would like some feedback on the Cometic gasket kit for the top part of the engine, any good ?

Are you talking about the Cam Cover Gasket, or the Head Gasket (or Both) ?
