Description

When your tractor starts leaving oil spots under the hood or you smell burning oil around the engine, it’s often time to replace that rocker cover gasket. This metal and rubber combination gasket seals the valve cover tight against the cylinder head, keeping oil where it belongs and dirt out of your engine’s critical valve components.

What You’re Getting

Metal and rubber construction provides superior sealing compared to all-rubber gaskets
Withstands the heat and pressure cycles that straight rubber gaskets can’t handle
Designed to match original equipment specifications for perfect fit
Metal core prevents gasket distortion during installation and use
Rubber sealing surfaces conform to head and cover irregularities for leak-free operation

Built for Real Farm Work

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford New Holland tractors from the reliable TW series utility tractors through the powerful 8000 series row-crop machines, plus TM and TS series models. Whether you’re running a mid-size tractor for livestock work or a big row-crop machine for grain farming, this gasket handles the constant vibration and temperature swings that come with hard farm use.

Made to Last

The combination of metal and rubber construction makes this gasket tougher than standard all-rubber versions. The metal core maintains proper compression even after thousands of heat cycles, while the rubber sealing surfaces stay flexible to seal against minor surface imperfections. This design holds up to the demanding conditions of agricultural engines that may run hundreds of hours between services.

Installation Notes

Remove all traces of old gasket material from both the head and cover surfaces before installing the new gasket. A little brake cleaner on a rag helps remove stubborn oil residue. Torque the cover bolts to specification in a crisscross pattern to ensure even gasket compression and prevent leaks.
