What makes this valve cover gasket different from a standard one?

This Cometic gasket features a steel torque-limiting frame integrated with soft rubber. This design helps prevent blowing out due to over-tightening and withstands high vacuum, offering more reliable sealing than typical cork or paper gaskets.

Does this gasket come with any hardware?

This product is for the valve cover gasket only. Any necessary mounting hardware, such as bolts or studs, would need to be sourced separately if not already present on your engine.

What is the significance of the .125 inch thickness and 18-degree heads?

The .125 inch thickness is specifically chosen for compatibility with 18-degree cylinder heads, like the Brodix 12 Series heads. This precise thickness ensures proper valve cover seating and sealing on engines configured with these specific heads.

About this part

Product Details

If you're working on a Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8, especially one with Brodix 12 Series heads, this valve cover gasket from Cometic is what you need to ensure a solid seal. It's designed with a .125 inch thickness, perfect for those 18-degree cylinder heads, and it fits a wide range of GM vehicles from the early 80s, including models like the Chevrolet Camaro, GMC C1500, and Buick Regal.

This gasket isn't your typical cork or paper type. Cometic wraps a soft rubber material around a steel torque-limiting frame. This combination is really smart because it prevents the gasket from blowing out due to over-tightening or high vacuum conditions, which can happen in these engines. It's built to last and offers improved sealing that you can rely on, making it a strong option for keeping oil where it belongs.
