Sierra 18-0664 Valve Cover Gasket, Replaces 909529, Fits GM 305/350 5.0L & 5.7L Engines
The Sierra 18-0664 is a valve cover gasket engineered to seal the valve cover against the cylinder head on GM 305/350 cubic-inch marine engines, including 5.0L and 5.7L applications. It creates the seal that keeps oil inside the valve cover assembly and prevents leaks at the cylinder head mating surface, a common failure point on inboard and sterndrive engines that see extended run time and heat cycling.
Each 18-0664 is sold as a pack of 2, giving you both gaskets needed for a V8 engine's left and right valve covers in a single purchase. Replacing worn valve cover gaskets is a routine maintenance step during valve cover removal for inspection, tappet adjustment, or general engine service, and using a properly sized replacement gasket helps ensure a leak-free reseal.
