Description
The Ford Big Block Neoprene/Steel Valve Cover Gaskets seal the mating surface between Ford 385-series big block valve covers and the cylinder head to help prevent oil leaks. Black neoprene-with-steel construction at 3/16" thickness is built to match the 429/460 gasket rail pattern, so bolt hole spacing and sealing surface must match your specific valve cover for proper installation.
This gasket set fits Ford Big Block "385" V8 engines — 7.0L/429 and 7.5L/460 CID. Sold as a pair, covering both valve covers in a typical installation.
Verify gasket rail width and bolt hole spacing against your specific 429/460 valve cover before ordering, and replace worn gaskets during valve cover service or a fresh installation.
Applications
Fits Ford Big Block "385" V8 engines, 7.0L/429 and 7.5L/460 CID.
