Valve Cover Gaskets 

–  “ULTIMATE” Silicone

for

FORD BIG 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-13049 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 and leak.            

–     In addition, the gaskets will withstand operating

        temperatures from -100 to 500 degrees Fahrenhiet.  

–    Best of all, it is a reusable gasket.   (see pictures)
