Cometic GM Small Block 18/23 Degree V8 NBR Steel Spline Valve Cover Gasket

If you're working on a GM Small Block V8 engine, especially one with 18 or 23-degree cylinder heads, and need to replace your valve cover gaskets, this Cometic gasket is a solid option. It's designed to seal the valve covers against the cylinder heads, keeping oil in and dirt out of your engine's valvetrain.

This gasket is built with a molded rubber material that's wrapped around a steel torque-limiting frame. This construction helps prevent the gasket from blowing out or being damaged by over-tightening, which can be an issue with simpler cork or paper gaskets. The steel frame also helps it handle higher amounts of engine vacuum. It's designed to fit right and provide a reliable seal for a long time, and it can be reused if you need to remove the valve covers again.

This gasket fits a wide range of GM vehicles from the 1960s through the 1980s, including popular models like the Chevrolet C10 Pickup, Camaro, and Buick Skylark. Make sure to check the full fitment list to confirm it's right for your specific application.
