- Seals the valve cover: Forms the seal between the valve cover and the cylinder head to keep engine oil contained at the top of the engine.
- Set coverage: Supplied as an engine valve cover gasket set; the number of pieces varies by engine and application.
- Application-matched: Cataloged as a direct-fit replacement for the listed classic Ford, Mercury, Edsel, AC, Shelby, and Packard models.
Over time a valve cover gasket can harden, shrink, or crack. Signs it may need replacing include oil seepage around the valve cover, oil pooling on top of the engine, or a burning-oil smell from oil dripping onto hot components — diagnose the source of the leak before replacing, since oil can escape from other seals as well. If a failed valve cover gasket is the cause, this set replaces it.
