Are you looking for a more reliable seal for the aftermarket aluminum valve cover on your MG engine? Are your fellow drivers just about ready to report you to the EPA? Gasket Innovations has the answer!
This precision gasket has been designed specifically for the performance alloy rocker cover on the 4-cylinder BMC B-Series engine. The high-temperature silicone construction allows the gasket to crush -- without extruding outwards -- much more than the stock cork gasket for better sealing.
Simply clean your valve cover, spread a thin bead of RTV sealant around the flange to hold the gasket in place, and install the gasket. Let the silicone cure at least 8 hours (24 hours is ideal) before installing the cover. The silicone is so soft and conformable, it needs very little pressure to seal. Screwing the fasteners down just past finger-tight is usually enough! When it's time to adjust the valves, the gasket will stay with the valve cover. The gasket is reusable indefinitely, which means it could be the last valve cover gasket you will ever buy! Sold individually.
Fits common aluminum valve covers designeed for use on B-Series engines as used on the 1955-62 MGA (except 58-60 Twin Cam), 1963-80 MGB (including GT), and 1953-69 MG Magnette. Not for use with the stock steel valve cover.
