Engines I build for myself and friends dont come undone either so i guess i know what I'm doing...................


I prolly pull my covers of more than most to keep tabs on my valvetrain......besides this post was not about my issues with other types of gaskets but rather what a great product Cometic has and who you can get them through.

thanks for the info Jon , do you have a part # .......... because the ones i use on the fab deals suck !!

I dont have the number handy, Lem knows what to get lol. You do need to make sure the rIls are good and flat as even the billet ones can get distorted over time withe the "softer" type gaskets and overtightening. That will be a non issue with these.

Might be the last vc gasket you ever buy.........

i believe that the problem with these cheap canton fabbed covers , need some ford racing deals or some nice thick billet pieces

Work just as well with sheet metal vc's?

I see no reason they wont as long as they are flat.

The cometics do not squish like the cork etc. And thats how the covers get distorted at the bolt holes.

Aramid Fibers



Introduction

In the research labs at E. I. Du Pont de Nemours & Company, Inc., in 1965 two research scientists, Stephanie Kwolek and Herbert Blades, were working in a corporate lab to create a new fiber. The technology they developed had enhanced strength, was lightweight and very flexible. The new fiber, called Kevlar, could be offered in many different forms. One of the most popular uses of Kevlar came in the form of bullet-resistant vests that police officers have relied on for over 25 years. The greatest attribute of the fiber was strength it provided in a very lightweight form, that was both comfortable and gave a wide range of movement to the officer. This discovery came from a very chemically similar compound called Nomex. The creation of this fiber gave birth to thermal technology, which combined heat and flame resistant properties along with advanced textile characteristics.

The production of aramid fibers known under their trademark names Kevlar® and Nomex.® have unique and beneficial properties. These two aramids are similar in basic structure and are sometimes produced in the same production plants. The difference is in their structure, Kevlar® is a para-aramid while Nomex® is a meta-aramid. An aramid is a polyamide where at least 85% of the amide bonds are attached to aromatic rings. The first aramid produced was called Nomex® introduced by Du Pont in 1961.

This what the gaskets are made of.

I wasn't trying to be fancy.........I never thought that we'd be able to get a pair of Kevlar BBF valve cover gaskets for $39.95 or at any price for that matter.

Lem Set me up with two sets of those if there still available.

Just call Shawn....he'll make it happen.....they are in stock.

You get me a price on the sbc units?

Just wondering, are they good to reuse or do they need to be changed every time you check your valvetrain?

Is that bad? Haha I wasn't trying, I just yap too much

I got more than the two of you combined................


Gaskets are reuseable............I dont think you could wear one of these out.

Time to get on um Lem to make some intake gaskets out of this stuff.............

???I believe they do have cometics intake gaskets... Mine are a lot like them at least...
