Detailed Description

Mahle VS38280 is built for engines that require a valve cover gasket set with cork-rubber material and OEM-standard fit and function. The 3.77 mm thickness helps the gasket seat properly against the cover and mating surface, while the sealing material is selected for reliable compression and long-term sealing performance. This part number, VS38280, is listed for 1958-1968 Lincoln Continental, 1968 Lincoln Mark III, 1959-1960 Ford Thunderbird, and additional Lincoln, Mercury, and Edsel applications from the same era.
