G'day,
The other day we were talking about valve cover gaskets and I noted "there are cork, combination cork and rubber, and rubber gaskets
available"
I received the following from a GMCer who wishes to remain anonymous.
Please do not forget the combination of rubberized cork and steel used in the Tuff-Cork gaskets from Victor-Reinz (Dana). The metal
layer is sandwiched in between layers of the other material and prevents deforming. The part number for our engines is VS38305TC as
per the attached image. These do not leak and can be re-used, I cement them to the valve cover for easy removal.
Regarding the oil pan gasket C. Boyd noted:
Auto-Zone shows Fel-Pro oil pan gasket # OS30471C as standard for the 350 diesel and is shown as optional for the 455 and 403.
This gasket also has a steel core which won't extrude.
