Fel-Pro 1609 is a performance valve cover gasket pair for Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth small block LA V8 engines, including 273, 318, 340, and 360 cu. in. applications. Its Blue Stripe cork-rubber material adds compressibility and thickness to help seal valve covers in high-performance or hard-use builds where oil leaks can spoil a clean engine bay.

Fel-Pro 1609 Features:

• Blue Stripe cork-rubber construction uses cork particles in a rubber binder to create a compressible sealing surface with no straight leak paths through the material.
• Extra-thick design measures approximately .172 to .188 in., with 3/16 in. nominal thickness commonly used for these gaskets.
• Engine coverage centers on LA small block V8 platforms: 273 cu. in., 318 cu. in., 340 cu. in., and 360 cu. in. Chrysler-family applications.
• Designed for performance and racing-style service where stronger valve cover sealing is needed than a thin standard gasket can provide.

Includes:

• Two valve cover gaskets

Useful during valve cover service, top-end reseals, small block LA refreshes, and high-performance builds using 273, 318, 340, or 360 cu. in. engines.

Verify valve cover style, cylinder head configuration, and engine family before ordering. The application data supports Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth LA small block V8 engines across the 1964-1991 range, but vehicle-level coverage may vary.
