VALVE COVER GASKETS – “ULTIMATE” SILICONE
for
FORD, LINCOLN, MERCURY – SMALL BLOCK V8
“ULTIMATE” SILICONE IS FIBERGLASS REINFORCED SILICONE |
**ATTENTION: If you are using thin steel valve covers, do not use this fiberglass reinforced gasket. Use the silicone gasket RG-50029 instead.**
This may be the last gasket you will ever need to buy!
- A layer of fiberglass is centered between 2 layers of silicone
and gives the material extra stability and ultimate strength.
This is the absolute most stress that a material can resist
while being pulled or stretched which makes this
one tough gasket.
- The material is resistant to deterioration by weathering and
engine oil and remains flexible over the temperature range
and withstands temperatures from -100 to 500 degrees F.
- The gaskets are made from aerospace mechanical grade
silicone and will not break down and deform or crack up
like cork or neoprene.
- This is a reusable gasket.
