Help keep recirculated exhaust gas sealed where it belongs with the APEX Automobile Parts Inc Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Gasket, part number AGR5008. It fits a long list of Chevrolet, GMC, Isuzu, Saturn and other vehicles, including the 1992-2005 Chevrolet Astro (V6-4.3L), 1996-2002 Chevrolet Cavalier (L4-2.2L), 1996-2000 Chevrolet Tahoe (V8-5.7L), 1999-2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (V6-4.3L) and 1999-2002 Daewoo Lanos (L4-1.6L). See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
The EGR valve routes a metered portion of exhaust gas into the engine's intake. This gasket is designed to keep that flow contained at the valve's mounting joint. A used gasket that has been heat-cycled or disturbed during service may no longer seal. Signs it may need replacing include an exhaust leak or ticking near the EGR valve, a rough idle, or EGR-related trouble codes. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the system first. If a leaking gasket is the cause, installing AGR5008 replaces it. It is good practice to fit a new gasket whenever the EGR valve is removed. Consult the vehicle service information for surface preparation, the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.
What does an EGR valve gasket do?
It seals the joint between the EGR valve and its mounting surface, so recirculated exhaust gas travels through the intended passage instead of leaking out.
What are signs this gasket may need replacing?
Signs can include an exhaust leak or ticking near the EGR valve, a rough idle, or EGR-related trouble codes. These symptoms have other possible causes, so diagnose the system before replacing parts.
How many gaskets does my vehicle need?
The listed applications use one gasket each, and the Buyer's Guide tab lists every year, model and engine it fits.
Which engines appear in AGR5008's listed applications?
It is cataloged for specific vehicles with L4-1.6L, L4-1.9L, L4-2.2L, L4-2.4L, V6-3.0L, V6-3.2L, V6-3.5L, V6-4.3L, V8-5.0L, V8-5.7L or V8-7.4L engines. The Buyer's Guide tab lists each vehicle and engine.
Should I replace the gasket when I remove the EGR valve?
Installing a new gasket whenever the EGR valve is removed is good practice, since a used gasket may not reseal. See the vehicle service information for surface prep, the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.
