#302 timing cover gasket manuals
Different nameplates use different nomenclature in their OE service manuals for directional markings for consistency in leveraging repair information, Fel-Pro works to follow the nameplate reference. So how do you know which way a Fel-Pro gasket is supposed to face when it’s being installed? Fortunately, in the case of head gaskets and intake manifold gaskets, most Fel-Pro gaskets have directional markings to help install them correctly when gasket orientation is critical to the installation.īefore we take a look at the different markings you’ll find on Fel-Pro gaskets, let’s talk about what we mean when we say front, left, right, top and up. Fel-Pro PermaDryPlus timing cover gaskets feature a highly sophisticated, patented technology that permits precise location, shape and.
Sometimes gaskets for the same engine might appear very similar, but will not function properly if installed in the wrong direction. However, others can be installed with either side facing up and the gasket will seal either way. Some gaskets are asymmetric, and the correct orientation can be visually distinguished. In this article, Fel-Pro® will help you determine ‘which side is up’ to correctly install various gaskets types. Front seals usually leak when the engine has a lot of miles, or the timing cover was not centered when installed. Installing gaskets in the correct direction is critical. Too much blow-by, or the pcv not working, can cause it to blow oil out the valve covers, front seal, rear seal, dip stick tube, any where on the engine that can leak under pressure, even if these parts are not worn out or bad.
