Valve cover question

[Erich]

Need to compile all new stuff for my lincoln motor (93 motor without COP):
What are the round things that seal out the plugs called?
Are there any seals or gaskets on the bolts that hold the covers down?
The only thing I have now is the actual valve cover gaskets.

spark plug gaskets, they are grommets that go around the sparkplug openings in the cover. the valve cover bolts should be help in by the valve cover gasket, but dont quote me on that, its been a long time since i have torn into a 32v. but thats how they are on the escape im puttin a head on

There are spark plug gaskets that go on the inside of the cover. Some people call them donut gaskets.

In regards to the bolts, there are seals that pop into the bolt hole locations. The bolts then go on top of those and thread into the head. I was looking to see if I had some pictures of them from when I had my valve covers off, but I don't have any pictures from when they weren't installed. You can see them in the picture below though...

As the picture also shows, you will also need the rubber grommets that go in the breather locations. Other than that, the actual cover to cylinder head gaskets should be all you need.
