Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Where to get a valve cover gasket

[Roger Dodger]

I called Autozone to get prices on valve cover gaskets (mine are leaking). I was planning on adjusting valve lash at the same time. Autozone wants $15 for one, and 6 are required. Is there any place that is cheaper? What are my options?

do you have a local cummins dealer? they are resonable there. Or most of the vendors should be able to get them for you.

About $5. 24 each from Cummins.

I just picked up 6 gaskets from Auto Zone for $3. 99 each. They are made by Fel-Pro. I hope they are the correct parts.

Don't forget the o-rings for the bolts,if they are not too fresh

The gaskets I bought came with o-rings. I installed them tonight. Everything went well but I did not drive the truck after finishing the job. Hopefully, no leaks.

Do you have a part number... Autozone here quoted me $15 each





Thanks

VS50396R is the correct part number

Does anyone sell cummins parts by mail at a reasonable price??? I'm finding it hard to get out with my work hours...

 

[REFLOYD]

Agreed, but i still want to get a barring tool, and the kit to to the KDP.

That is the autozone part number for them.

Thanks for the info, guys. Do the Felpro parts seem to be as good as Cummins parts? I am running synthetic oil, which seems to be finding new weak spots in my engine's gaskets every month. :-laf
