Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Which Small Block Chevy engines do these valve cover gaskets fit?
   These 3/16 inch cork valve cover gaskets are designed for most standard Small Block Chevy engines. However, valve cover designs can vary (e.g., perimeter bolt vs. center bolt). Please ensure your valve covers are compatible with this style and thickness of gasket. If you’re unsure, compare them to your old gaskets or contact our support team with details about your SBC engine.
2. What are the benefits of cork valve cover gaskets?
   Cork gaskets offer good compressibility, allowing them to seal minor imperfections on the valve cover and cylinder head surfaces. They provide a reliable seal when installed correctly.
3. Should I use any sealant with these cork gaskets?
   While cork gaskets can often seal on their own, some mechanics prefer to use a thin layer of non-hardening sealant on both sides of the gasket for added insurance against leaks, especially on older or slightly warped surfaces. Follow the sealant manufacturer’s instructions.
4. How often should I replace my valve cover gaskets?
   Valve cover gaskets should be replaced whenever they are leaking or when the valve covers are removed for any engine service. Over time, cork can become brittle and lose its sealing ability.
5. Do you ship engine gaskets nationwide in South Africa?
   Yes, we offer fast and reliable delivery of engine gaskets and seals throughout South Africa.
