You need more than the rubber valve cover gasket (93+ 2.0L engines all have
them) - you need the studs for the head as well.

The upper rubber valve cover gasket is conventionally known as the
Corrado Rubber Valve Cover Gasket. Just the ticket for early I4 engines
(8 valve). You can get one from many vendors, Potter has them, with
conversion studs;
