Engine Timing Cover Gasket Set
The Fel-Pro TCS45996 kit provides a complete set of gaskets for resealing the timing cover on compatible engines. It is intended for mechanics and vehicle owners performing timing chain service, front seal replacement or a full engine rebuild.
Thermals Noise and Power
As a static sealing component, the gasket set generates no heat, produces no noise and draws no electrical power during operation. Its function is to contain oil and coolant within the timing cover assembly under normal engine temperatures and pressures.
Replaces Worn Original Seals
This set replaces the factory timing cover gaskets that have hardened, cracked or begun to leak over time. The upgrade is worth it when the cover is removed for timing chain work, water pump access or when external oil seepage appears at the front of the engine.

Questions about this item
How is the Fel-Pro TCS45996 timing cover gasket set installed, and what step is commonly missed?
Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly before fitting the new gaskets; the step often missed is removing every trace of old sealant or gasket material so the new set seals correctly.
What maintenance or replacement will the Fel-Pro TCS45996 set need later?
The gaskets are designed for the engine's service interval; they require no periodic maintenance and are replaced only when the timing cover is removed again for other repairs.
What limit appears first on the Fel-Pro TCS45996 set under sustained engine heat and vibration?
The primary limit is long-term thermal cycling and vibration, which can eventually degrade the gasket material and cause leaks if the cover is not re-torqued after initial heat cycles.
