Steel Core Valve Cover Gasket Set for 1968-1972 Ford Boss 302 V8, 1970-1974 351 Cleveland V8, 1971-1979 351M and 400 V8
Fel-Pro 1682 valve cover gaskets are built for Ford performance V8 applications where valve covers come off often for service, tuning, or valve-lash work. The molded silicone rubber sealing surface and rigid steel core help control leaks on Boss 302, 351 Cleveland, 351M, and 400 engines, while compression limiters help protect the gasket from overtightening during repeated installation.
Fel-Pro 1682 Features:
- Rigid steel-core construction supports the gasket shape during installation and helps maintain even sealing pressure across the valve cover rail.
- Molded silicone rubber is suited to frequent valve cover removal, making the set useful for race cars, hot rods, and engines that need regular valvetrain access.
- Approximately .140 in. thick design adds sealing material for demanding applications and imperfect sealing surfaces.
- Stainless steel compression limiters help reduce the risk of crushing the gasket when fasteners are tightened.
- Designed for Ford Boss 302, 351 Cleveland, 351M, and 400 V8 applications, with additional use noted for Cleveland Yates, SC1, D3, Blue Thunder, and Neal heads.
Includes:
- Pair of valve cover gaskets
A strong choice for performance Ford builds that see frequent cover removal, including race car and hot rod engines where a reusable-style molded silicone gasket helps make routine valvetrain inspection cleaner and more consistent.
Not intended for emission-controlled vehicles. Steel-core gaskets may not fit valve covers with a gasket retaining lip and are not for stabilizer covers.
