Thanks gentlemen.  
MG cycle has gaskets, but I don’t see that they’re Valpolini (?)

I can order straight from Valpolini if it’s worth the wait? Not a big deal, just am finally getting to the winter maintenance on Red, and Greenie will follow, and noodling whether to order the usual gaskets or try the Valpolini that many have talked about.

For some reason they never list the brand name, but I think these are the ones you're looking for.

Over the years with different bikes, parts and supply deals, I've accumulated, probably a couple dozen, of different valve cover gaskets; they'll collect dust forever, because I won't waste my time putting in anything but these good ones.

Re the silicon gaskets mentioned elsewhere; my Griso came with a set of those and I thought I was set for life; wrong.

At some point they had obviously been over tightened, and the cover had cut into the gasket, they were destined for failure as well.

As ham fisted as I am, once I followed the gospel of Pete and converted to the metal cored gaskets, I've never had one of them fail.

fwiw ymmv
