So I just went to O'Reilly's to get the valve cover gasket and they have two different numbers a felpro 17900 and a Fel-Pro VS13197C both of these caskets look identical right down to the color striping on them they are both made out of cork however one is $11 and one is almost 20 the 17900 says Marine I can't see spending $9 more if it's the same exact gasket anybody have any insight on this?

The marine gasket uses marinized cork impregnated with Monel and Molybdenum Disulfide... If you don't use this, your boat will explode!


Obviously just kidding :lol:
