Product Details

This is the Cometic valve cover gasket for your Ford FE V8 engine, measuring .188 inches thick. You get one well-built gasket designed to seal the valve covers and keep oil where it belongs. This gasket fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1950s through the mid-1970s, including popular models like the F-100, Fairlane, and Galaxie.

What sets this gasket apart is its construction: it's made from a soft rubber material wrapped around a steel torque-limiting frame. This combination is much more durable than standard cork or paper gaskets. The steel frame helps prevent over-tightening, which can often cause other gaskets to blow out, and it also helps maintain a solid seal even under high vacuum conditions. You can expect improved sealing and the ability to reuse this gasket if you ever need to remove the valve covers again.
