VALVE COVER GASKET – CHEVROLET STRAIGHT 6

Made of “ULTIMATE” Silicone

**ATTENTION: If you are using thin steel valve covers, do not use this fiberglass reinforced gasket. Use the silicone gasket RG-50190 instead.**

This may be the last gasket you will ever need to buy!

–     There is a layer of fiberglass centered between 2 layers of silicone 

        that gives the material dimensional stability and higher 

        tensile strength.

–     Therefore, this material is resistant to deterioration by weathering or 

        engine oil and remains flexible over the temperature range noted.     

        As a result, they provide excellent performance in high temperature   

        environments.  

–    The gaskets are made from aerospace mechanical grade silicone and 

       will not break down and deform or crack up like cork or neoprene.            

–     In addition, the gaskets will withstand operating temperatures 

       from -100 to 500 degrees Fahrenhiet.  

–     Best of all, it is a reusable gasket.
