I've used them on stock engines, but not on any hipo's. They seem to work just as good but were more of pain to put on while under the car.------------------

I'm not a fan of neoprene oil pan or valve cover gaskets.  ------------------

Felpro makes a one piece oil pan gasket. It's blue (not neoprene) and has those metal things around the bolt holes to prevent over-tightening. I bought one for this latest engine, but haven't got to install it yet...  (cost around $40 though) They, and some other outfit make valve cover gaskets out of the same stuff. It's a fairly tough rubber compound with a steel shim that holds it's shape really well. They are supposed to be almost infinitely re-usable. They seem to be nice pieces. Good Luck! ------------------

I like cork, too. But I can't seem to avoid cracking the ends and I hate oil leaks.------------------

But a 1/4" drive won't fit my impact gun.  ------------------

Neoprene or rubber, I don't like either for gaskets that seal oil.
The rubber impregnated cork product that Fel-Pro markets is called Felco-Prene. That's the stuff that their racing gaskets are made from.
I use their 5/16 laminated valve cover gaskets with great results.
Actually I used Fel-Pro for just about everything except header and head gaskets.
Victor Reintz or Cometic for head and Mr.Gasket for headers when I use them at all.------------------
