LS Timing Cover Gasket 1997-Up

The LS Timing Cover Gasket 1997-Up from Straub Technologies Inc. is an essential engine seal designed for Gen III, Gen IV, and Gen V LS-platform engines spanning nearly three decades of production. This gasket is crucial for preventing coolant and oil seepage at the front of the engine where the timing cover meets the block, making it a vital component for any serious engine work or restoration project.

This gasket effectively seals the interface between the timing cover and engine block, a high-pressure zone exposed to both oil and coolant galleries. Its material composition is designed to resist heat cycling and maintain elasticity across the broad operating temperature range typical of street and competition LS engines. Proper installation requires a clean sealing surface on both the cover and block to ensure a reliable seal.

Rebuilders, restoration specialists, and performance shops trust this gasket for everything from stock replacements to turbocharged stroker builds. Its compatibility spans 1997-and-later LS applications, covering the early LS1 through the latest LS variants, making it suitable for a wide range of engine configurations.
