You might consider going to XB rocker box covers. |

Your lower ROCKER ARM HOLDER to HEAD gaskets are the ones that leak as a rule ... They are one piece now and the same as the H-D Sportster Gasket PN 16800-84A ... These can be re-used ... The ROCKER COVER Gaskets if in good shape can be put in the freezer for two hours and reused ... You must TORQUE the fasteners which means if the engine is left in the frame some improvised tools must be made ... |
