Good To Know

Q: Do I need to apply liquid sealant with this gasket? A: While the gasket is designed to seal dry, applying a small dab of silicone sealant in the sharp corners or half-moon cutouts is a recommended practice to ensure a leak-free seal.

Q: How often should this gasket be replaced? A: It is highly recommended to replace the gasket every time the valve cover is removed for maintenance, as rubber sets and loses elasticity over time.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
