VALVE COVER GASKETS
Leaks from valve covers may be problematic. These not only cause unsightly stains but may lead to serious problems if not repaired. That’s why Fel-Pro designs valve cover gaskets specifically for the repair environment to help seal imperfect surfaces. Proprietary materials and proven technologies like PermaDry and PermaDryPlus help ensure a reliable seal on even the most troublesome applications.

What is a Valve Cover Gasket?
Designed to seal the valve cover/cam cover to the top of the engine cylinder head, the valve cover gasket prevents motor oil from leaking out of the joint. The valve cover gasket withstands the stresses of the two surfaces expanding, shrinking, warping and rubbing while sealing in engine oil. Fel-Pro PermaDry and PermaDryPlus valve cover gaskets often include application-specific technologies to prevent overtightening and proprietary sealing solutions.

Symptoms of a Bad Valve Cover GasketWith repeated exposure to heat, dirt and debris, the valve cover gasket can become brittle, crack, and suffer from compression set leading to gasket failure. The gasket material may become saturated and leak in older applications. Symptoms of a failing valve cover gasket include:
|
Checking for Valve Cover LeaksIf there is an abundance of dirt and grime around the valve cover/cylinder head area, use some degreaser to clean the area so you can see the bare metal near the valve cover/cylinder head joint. Check the area after running the engine for a bit and you’ll be able to see if the valve cover is leaking. |
Why Do Valve Cover Gaskets Fail?Valve covers are typically made of stamped steel, lightweight aluminum or magnesium and may warp over time, so the sealing surface that mates with the cylinder head is no longer flat, creating oil leaks. The lightweight material can be deformed by excessive torque on the fasteners holding it in place. Overtightening the valve cover fasteners may crush the gasket and damage the valve cover creating further leakage. Rubber gaskets may develop a compression set over time and will no longer be able to effectively seal the joint between the cover and head. Older applications using cork-rubber gaskets may develop compression set or become saturated over time again leaking onto the cylinder heads. |
How to Install Fel-Pro Gaskets – Clean and DryFel-Pro valve cover gaskets are designed specifically for the repair environment to help seal imperfect sealing surfaces and no additional sealers are needed. Fel-Pro's premium materials compensate for surface imperfections and provide the proper amount of torque retention. Some valve cover installations may require the use of RTV at cam joint corners (90-degree corners) or where there are other castings (intake manifold, cam plugs) that meet the valve cover. Always consult the product instructions (where applicable) for sealing requirements prior to installation. Other installation tips include:

If you are replacing your valve cover gaskets, make sure you buy a pry tool to remove the old gasket as it is there very tight, I guess due to the heat etc. The old gasket does not come out easy, you need to really pry it out. Other than that, replacing it with this new one is a piece of cake. Overall I felt very good about this product as it came well packaged with all the required gaskets, definitely recommend it. Not sure what the OEM gaskets would cost, so do not know if the price is any less than the OEM gasket.
Update: Jan 31 2017: The gaskets are leaking since last year, not to say they are bad, just giving people an idea on how long they held up on my 1998 Honda Accord.
That said, this kit has both. Honestly, you'd be crazy to not replace every gasket you find while doing this repair.
I happen to like Fel-Pro gaskets a lot. I've used them on my truck (2002 Chevrolet Suburban - intake and valve covers) and now on my 2000 Acura TL (intake and valve covers).
For the Acura, you do have to remove the intake to take off the valve covers - so you'll need that gasket set as well.
These were easy to install in the valve covers and there are no more leaks.
