Seal your valve covers and shut down oil weeping with the Mr. Gasket Valve Cover Gasket Set 276. A go-to Ford F-150 valve cover gasket, this set drops in as a direct-fit replacement across a broad run of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury small-block Windsor V8s — including the 1975-1992 F-150 (V8-5.0L, V8-5.8L), the 1964-1973 Mustang, and the 1966-1977 Bronco. With 167 applications total, see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
These high-density gaskets use evenly sized cork particles distributed through a rubber binder, creating a compressible seal without leak paths. When exposed to hot engine oil, the material swells in a controlled way to form a positive seal against the valve cover flange.
