Review on FEL-PRO VS 50588 R Valve Cover Gasket Set: Advanced Sealing for Optimal Performance by Kevin Folsom

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great pad set! See my advice on pipe seals and expansion washers to ensure the job goes smoothly.

Great set of quality gaskets. Very good material and design. I originally installed the spark plug tube gaskets upside down, so I'm hoping someone can learn from my mistake! The end with two gaskets faces the valve cover. The tapered end faces down and goes over the spark plug tube seals. Putting it in the freezer made it a lot easier to fit the hose seals into the valve cover. Take the time to clean all contact surfaces with brake cleaner. Preparation is the key to success! Add two 5/16 flat washers to each valve cover bolt or purchase new from your dealer. as the blast washer is already compressed which can cause the shoulder on the bolt to drop all the way down before the proper clamping force is applied to the gasket. is not fully compressed. Add these washers or purchase new bolts/washers to prevent leakage.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
