VALVE COVER GASKETS

for

CHEVROLET BIG BLOCK V/8

Gaskets are 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-30055 instead.**

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

 –    Basically, the gaskets have a layer of fiberglass that is centered

        between 2 layers of silicone which allows the material to

        maintains its original dimensions when subjected to changes in

        temperature and humidity.          

        As a result, it gives the material dimensional stability and

        has a higher tensile strength.      

       This is the absolute most stress that a material can resist while

        being pulled or stretched. 

 –    Not only is the material resistant to deterioration by weathering

        and engine oil but also withstands temperatures and remains

        flexible over the temperature range of  -100 to 500 degrees

        Fahrenheit. 

–     Additionally, the gaskets are made from aerospace mechanical 

        grade silicone and will not break down and deform or crack up

        like cork or neoprene.    

        Consequently, this is one tough gasket. 

 –   Finally, this is a reusable gasket.
