About this part

Product Details

This Cometic valve cover gasket is built with a .188 inch thick fiber material, featuring a steel torque limiting frame. This design is specifically made for Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines with splayed valve heads, ensuring a solid seal where standard gaskets might struggle. The rubber and steel combination is tough enough to handle over-tightening and high vacuum situations without blowing out, offering a more reliable seal than basic cork or paper gaskets.

You'll find this gasket fits a wide range of vehicles from the early 80s, including popular models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and Corvette, as well as GMC trucks and SUVs. Its construction is asbestos-free and designed for extended reusability, making it a well-built choice for keeping your engine's oil contained.
