Valve cover gaskets
I had 1 valve cover leak a little. I decided that since I just bought the truck, I should check the valve lash. Now 5 of them leak. :argh: They are all hard as a rock and I'm gunna replace them all. They all had RTV on them to Band-Aid it I guess. Is Fel-pro a good replacement? Thanks for your input. :c:

got mine from Napa, not sure what brand they are though
|
the rubber compound ones are the way to go it seems that the cork ones tend to leak over time
|
Napa's are probably Fel-pro..if they are old stock then they are Victor Reinz....both will be fine.
|
felpro is perfety fine
|
Thanks guys. :c:
|
i always had good results with petty much everything felpro

check to see if the little o-rings on the bolts are not bad, if those are not on or they are bad, that will cause oil to leak from the gasket.
I use Cummins gasket, they are grey in color, i have had all four colors on my truck before (red, green, black and grey) grey is the best, for me not sure why but they just worked and fit better. I can get the upper gasket kit for 59.00 (this is Cummins OEM) |
the cummins grey gaskets are the best, just make sure you don't overtorque the valve cover bolts. 18ft pounds max
