Stupid question...The description makes it sound like only one comes in the package. Is this for both sides? The valve-cover gaskets are sold in pairs for $47. The valley cover is now available as well for $32.50.

Thank you, Dan. I've added them to my shopping list, but I'll wait until the valley-cover gasket is also available before I order.

Ted (4/1/2026)
When I installed the Real Gaskets Tennessee (RGT) oil pan gasket on the 312 dyno mule, the instructions called for the same 20-25 in/lbs torque value as the shown on packaging pictures posted by Daniel. That’s a very small torque value and especially if comparing it to 20-25 ft/lb. I had four in/lb torque wrenches and there was only one of those that would go low enough to do the 20-25 in/lb spec. Here’s the link to the RGT oil pan gasket when it was installed on the dyno mule for testing. http://forums.y-blocksforever.com/FindPost165810.aspx Ted, in the valve cover tests I did, I do believe one can go a good 10 in/lbs more in torque and not experience any distortion of the gasket. I did not go further than 35 in/lbs, but do wonder if they could not take more. While I did express this to the company, they still kept the torque limit rather low

The gaskets are live on the Real Gaskets Tennessee website. Again, I have nothing to do with all of this other than encouraging this company to produce the gaskets. I receive no commission, nor am I any part of setting the retail price.

Let us know when they can be ordered. I want to order their C4/C5 pan gasket as well. Might as well order all at once to save shipping costs.
