Durable Molded Rubber Material and Precise Thickness

The gasket thickness values of 0.32 and 8.19 millimeters are engineered to provide a secure seal between the valve cover and cylinder head, reducing the risk of leaks. The absence of additional components such as PCV valve grommets or camshaft plugs means this set focuses on the core sealing function, suitable for applications where those parts are not required.

This ensures a proper fit for many popular engines requiring a molded rubber valve cover gasket.

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, clean the valve cover and cylinder head surfaces thoroughly to remove old gasket material and oil residue. Ensure the gasket is properly aligned with the valve cover grooves to avoid leaks. Since this set does not include valve cover grommets or spark plug tube seals, verify if those components need separate replacement. Tighten valve cover bolts to manufacturer specifications to prevent gasket deformation.
