Ford Small Block Rubber Valve Cover Gaskets

• Rubber-with-steel construction seals Ford Small Block Windsor valve cover surfaces

• 3/16" thickness gasket material for consistent sealing under clamp load

• Fits Ford Small Block Windsor V8s, 221 through 351W CID

• Sold as a pair — complete gasket set for both valve covers

The Ford Small Block Rubber Valve Cover Gaskets seal the mating surface between Ford Small Block Windsor valve covers and the cylinder head to help prevent oil leaks. Rubber-with-steel construction at 3/16" thickness is built to match the Windsor gasket rail pattern, so bolt pattern and sealing surface must match your specific application for proper installation.

This gasket set fits the Ford Small Block Windsor V8 family: 3.6L/221, 4.3L/260, 4.7L/289, 4.9L/302 (commonly called the 5.0L), and 5.8L/351 (commonly called the 351W). Sold as a pair, covering both valve covers in a typical installation.

Verify bolt pattern, sealing surface, and gasket material before installation, and replace worn gaskets during valve cover service or a fresh installation.

Applications
Fits the Ford Small Block Windsor V8 family: 221, 260, 289, 302 ("5.0L"), and 351W CID.

What does this gasket fit?
This gasket set fits Ford Small Block Windsor V8 engines, including 221 CID, 260 CID, 289 CID, 302 CID (5.0L), and 351W CID applications.

Does this fit the 351 Cleveland (351C) or 351 Modified (351M)?
No. This gasket is designed for the Ford Windsor engine family and is not compatible with the 351 Cleveland (351C) or 351 Modified (351M), which use a different valve cover gasket rail. See TSP's separate gasket listing for 351C/351M/400 applications.

What is this gasket made from?
These gaskets are manufactured from rubber with a steel core, measuring 3/16 inch thick, for excellent durability, gasket retention, and sealing performance.

How many gaskets come in this set?
This kit includes two valve cover gaskets, providing a complete set for both valve covers.

Is this the same as the 5.0L gasket?
Yes. The 302 CID Windsor V8 is commonly referred to as the 5.0L, and this gasket fits that engine as well as the rest of the Windsor family, including 221, 260, 289, and 351W applications.

When should I replace this gasket?
Replace the gasket whenever servicing or removing the valve covers, or if the existing gasket shows signs of wear, cracking, compression, or oil leakage.

Does this gasket affect emissions compliance?
No. This product does not affect vehicle emissions and is not subject to emissions compliance regulations.
