Factory Valve Cover Gasket - help!

I am going to powdercoat my Valve Covers - because I am in Europe I need to get first the Gaskets if old one will be not good to put them back. I was digging Internet I can not nowhere find and internet shop to buy factory set of those gaskets.
Can anyone told me where to get them in web shops ?

The stock gaskets are rubber, you can carefully remove them and reuse them, that's what I did.

Thanks
I have got 25000 miles – are you sure they will be ok?
If not then I will be not able to assembly the car back and I will have to wait 1,5 month to get them here.
That is why I am looking for insurance just in case but I can not find those gaskets anywhere.

You will need a dab of high temp silicone in 2 places on each head where the timing cover meets the head. You'll see the old silicone there. Just take a razor blade and cut the old silicone off and brakleen the area.

be carefull and you'll be fine, you could also use some silicone spray on the rubber gasket itself to lubricate it before install. good luck

Follow these instructions and you'll be fine. No need for new gaskets.
