Are you just about ready to give up on trying to seal the aftermarket aluminum valve cover on your 4-cylinder Triumph TR 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 aftermarket aluminum valve covers on the 1952-67 4-cylinder Standard-Triumph "wet liner" 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 most brands of cast aluminum valve covers (except Offenhauser) designed to fit the 1991cc and 2138cc Standard wet-liner engine as used on the Triumph TR2/TR3/TR4. Not for use with the stock steel valve cover.
