valve cover gaskets
just bought the grey gaskets from cummins for $5.38 each. Parts stores aound here wanted 12.00 - 19.00 each for fel pro.
|
:tu: got mine the other day from autozone for like 4.79 and also felpros
|
man it pays to go shopping and look around when we are buying parts for our rigs :yeah:
|
jesus. I think they are $7 at napa. blue felpros.
|
the grey cummins ones dont seem to fit good like there too big
i like the fel pro better |
Wow. I paid 5.50 for fel-pros.
|
i just got mine from pepboys... they fit good and seemed good quality... they were felpros and was 2.59 per
|
the cummins ones are a bit thicker and are not reusable,
i bought the felpro ones and they only lasted a month... two of them got brittle and cracked, mabey i just got a couple bad ones |
I work at napa or I probably would have gone to o'reillys lol
Overall, I've been pretty pleased with felpro gaskets in general, although the fit sometimes leaves something to be desired. I've had the valve cover gaskets for probably 500 miles, and just took them off for the 2nd time and they are lookin like new and still very flexible. |
I just did mine yesterday with Fel-Pro ones. Looked just like the stock ones. Dunno on the cost, they came with the truck.

---AutoMerged DoublePost--- we use alot of felpro gaskets on sbc's and they hold up, but now for my cummins i get everything from cummins |
Mine are like a white grey color i dont know what kind they are but have been on there for 2years and have been taken off a couple of times and still work great they were 6.00.

Grey ones from cummins are what I have , no leaks on either truck in three years now.
I tried to buy some at napa once... parts guy only had one in stock, but he swore up and down that all that engine required was one gasket, the computer told him so... I made him go get the gasket off the shelf , and follow me outside, I opened the hood , and told him to show me how one gasket was going to work for all six valve covers |
