Ford V.C. Gaskets 289/35

The MR. GASKET Ford V.C. Gaskets 289/35 is a valve cover gasket pair engineered for small block Ford engines, featuring a 0.187-inch thick construction with rubber-coated cork and rubber composition. This gasket set is designed to seal valve covers on classic and modern small block Ford applications, providing reliable leak prevention in high-temperature engine bay environments where standard gaskets fail prematurely.

The Ultra-Seal construction combines cork and rubber materials to handle thermal cycling and vibration encountered during both street driving and track use. The 0.187-inch thickness is engineered to provide adequate compression and sealing force while maintaining proper valve cover fitment on small block Ford platforms. The rubber-coated composition resists oil degradation and prevents gasket creep, ensuring the seal holds under sustained pressure without requiring frequent re-torquing. This pair covers both driver and passenger side valve covers in a single purchase, eliminating the need for separate gasket orders.

Ford V.C. gasket replacement is essential for owners maintaining small block Ford engines—whether restoring a classic 289 or maintaining a street rod with period-correct components. Oil leaks around valve covers are among the first symptoms of gasket degradation, and MR. GASKET's gasket design addresses this directly. Engine builders and enthusiasts performing head gasket work or general maintenance benefit from having quality valve cover gaskets on hand. The ultra-seal formulation minimizes weeping and extends service life compared to basic cork alternatives, reducing the frequency of gasket replacement intervals.
