If the engine valve cover gasket is set, its thickness is .313. This is a Cork-lam cork rubber steel core performance engine valve cover gasket set.

Valve Cover GasketsFEL-Pro engineers have developed a variety of technologies to properly seal valve covers in applications requiring performance. It includes the ability to choose from several different material options, each to meet your specific requirements in terms of cost, and suitability for your application. Fell Blue Stripe Cork-Rubber Blue Stripe Cork-Rubber is made from the most commonly used material. Blue Stripe Premium Quality Cork-Rubber Gasket uses even-sized cork particles that are evenly strung throughout the rubber binder. The result consists of a gasket leak path without compression. This gasket is a little thicker than the standard car. FEL-COPRENE SYNTHETIC RUBBER FEL-COPRENE SYNTHETIC RUBBER CAN PROVIDE LONGER LIFE THAN CORK-RUBBER. However, because the cork-rubber is more flexible, it is easier to install when needed. Typically, quick-drying adhesives are used to bond the gasket before being installed on the valve cover. Rubber-Coated Fiber Rubber fiber is used in some ventilation applications, such as Chrysler V8 engines, where this valve cover is placed near the exhaust manifold. Excessive heat causes premature deterioration of most valve cover gaskets and causes leaks. The material of these vent application gaskets feels hard, but is coated with a high temperature fiber material latex rubber. FEL CORK-LAM Cork-LaM is used in some valve covers for applications such as Chevrolet block and V8 engine engines, where high-vacuum or blowout conditions present special problems. Cork-lam is used, which has a metal core made of cork-rubber material, chemically and mechanically bonded on both sides. This construction is thick
