TRANS-DAPT 9168 Valve Cover Gaskets for Small Block Chevy, Steel Core Silicone Rubber, Pair

TRANS-DAPT 9168 valve cover gaskets provide a dependable sealing solution for compatible Small Block Chevy engines. Designed with a steel core and silicone rubber construction, these gaskets help maintain consistent sealing performance around the valve cover perimeter while resisting deformation during installation and operation. The perimeter-bolt design supports secure positioning and reliable coverage for the intended valve cover application.
Supplied as a pair, the TRANS-DAPT 9168 set is suitable for replacing worn, hardened, or leaking valve cover gaskets during engine service, restoration, or maintenance. The steel-reinforced core adds structural stability, while the silicone rubber sealing material conforms to mating surfaces to help reduce the risk of oil seepage when installed on clean, properly prepared components. Always compare the existing gasket configuration and valve cover bolt pattern before installation.
For best results, clean the cylinder head and valve cover sealing surfaces thoroughly, inspect both components for warping or damage, and follow the engine manufacturer's installation procedures. Avoid overtightening the perimeter bolts, as excessive force can distort the gasket or cover and compromise the seal. TRANS-DAPT part number 9168 offers a practical replacement option for Small Block Chevy applications requiring a pair of perimeter-bolt valve cover gaskets.
