Trouble finding valve cover gaskets
Anyone having any luck finding quality, affordable valve cover gaskets? My ISF with 160k has minor leaking I want to fix.
as far as beck/arnley brand, you can find the left side ( part 036-1934) everywhere but not right (part 036-1935).
there is a brand called Apex all over EBay but I have never heard of them.
wondering what brand / parts source you all recommend based on maintaining your car?

How long do you plan to keep the car?
This is something I buy OEM all the time. Guaranteed fit, known service life, zero issues on install. My time is valuable, and I've had enough aftermarket stuff do me wrong over the years, so for this kind of stuff, I buy from an Internet Lexus dealer's parts counter.

I am inclined to keep cars for a long time, and to fix things right. I just went and looked at OEM and the prices aren’t bad for these gaskets - in stock too! Thanks for the insight.

It's a roll of the dice with Beck-Arnley, I think they likely purchase from the lowest price, at times it can be overstock OEM, other times it'll be somewhere else.

Beck-Arnley claims to source OEM or better parts, but I value community feedback over advertising. First I heard of the brand was in video Jared (wrench everyday ) did on the valve cover gasket job.

True they have. Just like Moog. I remember Moog chassis parts when I was a kid in 1969 and my dad was building dirt track cars running Moog suspension components.
