RavenTBK Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 EA81 valve cover gaskets.. are they cork or rubber from SOA? I see that the only aftermarket selection in my area is cork from fel-pro. I believe cork is unacceptable for a solid lifter engine where removal and replacement happens "often", and for long term sealing, I dont believe cork can compete. Also, I've seen "grommets" listed with the aftermarket gaskets.. where do these fit into the equation? I dont see anything about grommets in my diagrams. This ends the "stupid question o the day".

GLCraig Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 The gaskets from SOA are cork and they should be replaced when you remove the valve covers because the usually tear. They are not that expensive, retail is only $15.90 for a pair. The grommets are AKA seal washer SOA 812764110 and retail for 5.68 for a set of four. They are the washer that seal the bolt holes in the valve cover. These last for 2 or 3 valve adjustment intervals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
