Review on πŸ’ͺ FEL-PRO VS 50569 R Valve Cover Gasket Set: Superior Performance and Durability by Troy Tec

Revainrating 4 out of 5

So far so good, but only for a few days

The last time I changed the gasket on my '94 Miat, it started leaking again. This time I used a locally purchased Fel-Pro gasket. After reading the reviews here I hope my experience will not be repeated. I tightened the bolts in turn, this time a little tighter to 10 ft-lbs (120 in-lbs), since that's the lowest setting my 3/8-inch torque wrench is capable of. It's only been a few days. I will update and increase or decrease the star rating accordingly. I also replaced the camshaft angle sensor o-ring with a good quality Viton rubber o-ring. I bought the bag from McMaster Carr but Revain actually has it. cheaper (part B000FN0YG2 is a 5 pack for a few bucks). If you haven't already replaced this part, read why you need to do it and do it with the valve cover off. It's 5 minutes. Working with the cover off while the valve cover is closed takes from 30 minutes to the impossible and requires a lot of swearing.

Pros
  • Gaskets
Cons
  • Minor problems
