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.

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:
