What causes a valve cover gasket to fail?

Over time, heat cycles and age can cause the gasket material to become brittle and lose its flexibility. This can lead to cracks or compression set, allowing oil to leak out from the valve cover area.

Does this gasket set include everything needed for the repair?

Yes, Fel-Pro gasket sets are designed to include every part needed for the repair unless otherwise noted. This means you should have all the necessary gaskets for your valve cover replacement.

How does this gasket handle imperfect sealing surfaces?

This gasket uses a proprietary cork-rubber formulation that is highly conformable. This allows it to adapt to minor imperfections on the valve cover or cylinder head, ensuring a solid seal even when surfaces aren't perfectly smooth.

Product Details

If you're noticing oil leaks around the top of your engine, it's likely time to replace the valve cover gasket. This Fel-Pro VS50856R gasket set is designed specifically for the repair environment, meaning it's built to handle those less-than-perfect sealing surfaces you often find during an engine repair. It's a common job on vehicles like the Volvo XC90, S80, XC60, XC70, and the Land Rover LR2.

Fel-Pro understands that repairs aren't always on a factory-fresh engine. That's why this gasket set uses a proprietary cork-rubber formulation that's highly conformable. This means it can adapt to minor imperfections on the valve cover or cylinder head, creating a solid seal that prevents oil from escaping. The set includes all the necessary parts for the repair, so you won't be left searching for extra components.

This gasket set has been real-world tested to ensure it performs well on the road. It's a well-built option that addresses the common issue of oil leaks from the valve cover area, helping to keep your engine clean and running smoothly.
