VALVE COVER GASKETS –
“ULTIMATE” SILICONE
for
MOPAR 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-1607 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.
