Product Details

This Cometic valve cover gasket is made from Aramid Fiber, a high-temperature, high-density material that resists creep and fuel. It's designed to fit a wide range of Buick V6 engines, including those in vehicles like the Buick LeSabre, Regal, and Electra. This gasket is asbestos-free and requires no additional sealants, making installation straightforward.

The Aramid Fiber construction means this gasket is built to handle high temperatures without needing to be re-torqued after installation.
