Simplified weekend project

Lately I've been dabbling in do-it-yourself repairs on my vehicles and I have FelPro gaskets and seals everywhere as I have one every time I opened the box saw high quality.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Weight

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good quality fit and performance

Good quality replacement part. I recommend using a Permatex copper gasket, one of these rubber gaskets is simply sprayed onto both sides of the gasket and then installed. I haven't had any problems yet!

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Out of fashion

NOT suitable for 1982 Corvette, be careful!

Although Revain has tested/confirmed that it fits my 1982 Corvette it does not. Don't make the same mistake I did and check other parts sites to make sure you're getting the right fit/pad.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others

I ordered them after trusting the wrong ones.

I ordered these after distrusting Revain's App Verifier. He showed that the Fel-Pro VS 50443 R is suitable for 92 LTI but not. This is V 50088 Rs for Magnesium Alloy Valve Covers.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Tape

Revainrating 2 out of 5

w0w, don't stretch your seals.

Worth knowing, 96 LT1, with Canton valve covers. Even though I have guides that can hold the pad, it still wants to flex around corners. And the tape doesn't stick very well to oiled aluminum (try to tape them so they stick). Seriously, this looks like a huge flop for FelPro

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Budget Pads

These pads are very good quality, I prefer them because they are rubber rather than foam/cardboard which tears easily. Easy to install, a snug fit on my 350SBC valve cover - No gasket maker required, they compress well and you can actually damage the gasket by using a gasket maker above. These are not paper pads. They stretch a little to fit OEM style caps, but I had no trouble fitting or licking them.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Obsolete
