SBC 18 Deg Split Valley Cover Gasket .030

The SBC 18 Deg Split Valley Cover Gasket .030 is a precision-engineered sealing component specifically designed for small-block Chevrolet engines. It is essential for those who are rebuilding classic performance engines or maintaining existing SBC architecture, ensuring reliability under demanding operating conditions.

This gasket sits at the critical intersection where the valley cover meets the cylinder head, effectively preventing oil seepage and coolant intrusion into the combustion chambers. With a thickness of .030 inches and an 18-degree cut geometry, it provides a secure, leak-free seal without excessive clamping force that could warp the aluminum valley cover.

Ideal for anyone performing a top-end rebuild or replacing a worn valley cover seal, this gasket is also suitable for installing aftermarket intake manifolds on SBC engines. Proper installation requires a clean seating surface and correct torque sequence to ensure optimal performance.
