The primary material, rubber, offers exceptional flexibility and resilience. It can conform to irregular surfaces, seal tightly, and maintain its seal even under varying temperatures and pressures. Rubber edge gaskets are designed with a specific type of rubber, each tailored to suit different environmental conditions and chemical resistances. For instance, silicone rubber gaskets are ideal for high-temperature applications, while neoprene gaskets excel in resisting oils and chemicals.

Beyond the functional implications, a blue valve cover gasket also contributes to the overall aesthetic of an engine bay Furthermore, SC oil seals contribute to energy savings
The valve cover gasket is a small but essential component that seals the valve cover to the engine block. It is designed to prevent oil from leaking out of the engine and onto the ground. A worn or damaged valve cover gasket can allow oil to seep out, causing a mess under the hood and potentially damaging the engine.
