Help keep a tight seal where the EGR valve meets its mounting surface with the SKP Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Gasket, part number SKVG6. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, including the 1990-1997 Honda Accord (L4-2.2L) and 1988-1995 Chevrolet C1500 (V6-4.3L, V8-5.0L, V8-5.7L).
The EGR system sends a portion of exhaust gas back into the intake to help lower combustion temperatures. This gasket sits between the EGR valve and its mounting face and helps keep that gas in its intended path instead of leaking at the joint.
Signs an EGR valve gasket may need replacing include a hissing or ticking leak near the valve, exhaust residue around the mounting flange, or a rough idle if the joint is drawing in unmetered air. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the source before replacing parts. A gasket compresses to seal when installed, so fitting a new one whenever the EGR valve is removed is common practice.
See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full year, make, model and engine list.
What does an EGR valve gasket do?
It seals the joint between the EGR valve and its mounting surface. This helps keep recirculated exhaust gas in its intended path and prevents leaks at that connection.
Will SKP SKVG6 fit my vehicle?
SKVG6 is listed for many vehicles, including the 1988-1995 Chevrolet C1500 (V6-4.3L, V8-5.0L, V8-5.7L) and the 1990-1997 Honda Accord (L4-2.2L). See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full year, make, model and engine list.
How many EGR valve gaskets does my vehicle need?
The listed applications use one EGR valve gasket each.
What are signs the EGR valve gasket may need replacing?
Possible signs include a hissing or ticking leak near the EGR valve, exhaust residue around the flange, or a rough idle. These can have other causes, so diagnose the source before replacing parts.
Should I replace the gasket when I remove the EGR valve?
A gasket compresses to seal when installed, so fitting a new one whenever the EGR valve is removed is common practice. Follow your vehicle's service information for the procedure and torque.
