Not all valve cover gasket quality the same! - cosmic_splatter - 08-16-2014 Here is a pic of the new felpro valve cover gasket in blue compared to the one I pulled out of the engine. You can clearly see that the felpro is much thicker and will seal better! ![]() John ps. Note ridges along the gasket to better hold it in the valve cover. Very nice! Perfect fit! Like a glove! RE: Not all valve cover gasket quality the same! - fixkick - 08-16-2014 felpro is top shelf. it might last longer too. it even looks better than mine, they made it better yet. good luck to you !!! RE: Not all valve cover gasket quality the same! - cosmic_splatter - 08-16-2014 I got it on Amazon. It really looks cool being blue! Here is the part number... FEL-PRO VS50473R RE: Not all valve cover gasket quality the same! - fixkick - 08-16-2014 thanks. i posted the full catalog here it is. i use catalogs from source, on all buys first. so i dont get the wrong parts. http://www.fme-cat.com/Application.aspx#passengercar Same with Bosch part, or SMP, or NGK, all catalogs for all parts (not china imported knockoffs) are in the OEMs catalogs. now. a blessing. the trick is to get 8v and 16v correct. very hard that. some call the 16v Kv and the 8v KC (v for van, c for canvas. 8v and 16v) tricky huh? your tracker is a VIN 6 car. the parts listed for Vin 6 fit your car. 6 = 16v. in GM parlance...... with real p./n in hand, you can google for cheapest source, or closest to your home for faster and cheaper shipping. or can ask the clerk at a brick store to find this part. faster. and not let them sell you the wrong part, as is the practice 1/2 time. 1995 had 2 engines. |
