Hi all,

My engine started ticking low in the back of the passenger’s side, so I pulled the valve cover off on that side to check it out (not an engine guy, so I honestly have no clue what I’m looking for).
Anyhow, purchased a new valve cover gasket so I can put everything back together, but I can’t find the grommets that go in the holes with the bolts when I fasten it back down. I’ve searched online, and every local auto parts store, but not having any luck.
The engine is a 400, but I found the right gasket by looking up ones for a 440. Any suggestions where to look for the right grommets?
(Side note: had a guy at one of the stores suggest using heat shrink tubing since that what his “Mopar friends” use, and another suggest rubber washers)
 
Just bolts, no washers, no grommets, just the bolts.

Head/Gasket/Cover and then the bolts.

If this makes no since then I have no clue what you are talking about.
