Panhead Rocker Arm Cover Gaskets – Harley Davidson

Made of Black Silicone

 

      REAL GASKETS TENNESSEE is a manufacturer of state of the art silicone

        rubber gaskets, such as valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets and more.

     Firstly, the gaskets are made from aerospace / mechanical grade silicone

        and therefore will not break down, dry up and deform or crack up

        like cork or neoprene.             

    Secondly, these gaskets are designed to withstand temperatures up

       to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.   As a result, they provide excellent

       performance in high temperature environments.  

    Lastly, REAL GASKETS seal uneven and warped surfaces, 

       and eliminates corrosion and are 100% reusable.

Installation instructions:  

  1.    Wash the cover and engine flange with solvent.
  2.    Remove all traces of oil.
  3.    The surfaces must be DRY.   
  4.    Do not use  oil or lube of any type.
  5.   TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS – 

            Use lock washers or thread lock and 

            torque (one time) 20 to 25  INCH POUNDS.  

          DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!**

 

** If the gasket starts to bulge or “pooch” out when tightening

    – then you are over tightening the gasket.  

    Back off on the torque.

 

If the gasket splits or cracks then you have over torqued 

the silicone material and ruined the gasket. 

You must follow the recommended torque listed on the package.   

Tighter is not better.   

It is okay to use Loctite on the bolts.

 

To re-use gasket:  

  1.    Wash gaskets in hot soapy water.
  2.    Rinse well.    Dry thoroughly. 
  3.    Re-install using the above installation instructions.
