What does this Fel-Pro valve cover gasket set include?

The kit delivers a full complement of gaskets and seals required for a valve cover replacement so you won’t need additional sealants or parts in most repairs. Fel-Pro packages parts to match the repair environment, which shortens install time and reduces the risk of leftover leaks.

• Primary valve cover gaskets molded in proprietary cork-rubber formulation
• Seals/grommets for fasteners and any necessary small O-rings
• Packaged set intended to cover the complete valve cover sealing surface

How does the design handle imperfect sealing surfaces?

The gasket compounds are formulated to be highly conformable so they compress and adapt to uneven or worn cylinder head and cover mating surfaces. That flexibility helps maintain a stable oil seal under engine heat cycles and vibration without requiring flawless machined surfaces.

• Cork-rubber mix that conforms to minor surface irregularities
• Compression properties suited to engine thermal expansion and contraction
• Resists hardening and cracking over typical service intervals
