What causes valve cover gaskets to fail?

Over time, heat and engine oil can cause valve cover gaskets to become brittle and lose their flexibility. This can lead to cracks and leaks, allowing oil to escape the engine.

Does this gasket set include all the necessary hardware?

Yes, this Fel-Pro gasket set is designed to include every part needed for the repair, ensuring you have what you need to complete the job without additional purchases.

How does Fel-Pro's design help with imperfect sealing surfaces?

Fel-Pro gaskets are engineered to be highly conformable, meaning they can adapt to minor imperfections or unevenness on the engine block and valve cover sealing surfaces. This helps create a reliable seal even when the surfaces aren't perfectly smooth.

Product Details

If you're noticing oil leaks around the top of your engine on your 1994-1999 Mercedes-Benz S420, it's likely time to replace the valve cover gaskets. These gaskets sit between the valve cover and the cylinder head, keeping oil contained within the engine. Fel-Pro designed this set specifically for the realities of engine repair, meaning it's made to seal even surfaces that aren't perfectly flat.

This set includes all the necessary parts for the job, so you won't be scrambling for extra components. The proprietary cork-rubber material is highly conformable, allowing it to adapt to any minor imperfections on the sealing surfaces. This means you get a solid seal that holds up over time, preventing those annoying oil leaks and keeping your engine running cleanly.
