Tamerx Diesel Products provides a replacement warranty on all of our parts. The duration and mileage limitations of the warranty vary by product and are specified on the product's detail page/item listing.
Please note that the warranty covers replacement of the part and the cost of shipping the replacement part to you only. It does not cover any shop, labor, towing, or any similar or related costs. This is not a "money back guarantee".
If you experience a problem with your part or it is not functioning properly, the correct warranty procedure is to call us at (510) 257-1777 (8:00 AM - 5:00 PM ET Monday through Friday). Be sure to have your order number and/or other relevant order information ready so we can easily locate your order and resolve your issue as quickly as possible.

As is the case for the majority of the diesel products sold on Tamerx Diesel Products, your part's warranty is active as soon as you install it. In some other cases, warranty activation is contingent upon you sending us your core (i.e., your old part). Tamerx Diesel Products will provide you a return shipping label for parts that have a warranty with a core return condition. When we have received your core return, the part's warranty coverage begins. We reserve the right to void the product warranty if your core is not received within the allotted time, or if it isn't received at all. If the warranty for the diesel part you are purchasing has a core return requirement, it will be clearly noted on the product detail page/item listing.
What is a Core Charge?
A core charge (also called "core deposit") is similar to the deposit you might pay for a can or bottle of soda and is a standard requirement in the auto parts industry. For example, in many states, to promote recycling, you pay a deposit when you purchase a can of soda and receive your deposit back when you return the empty can. Many automotive parts have a core charge, or core price, that works in essentially the same way as a soda can deposit.
30 Day Core Charge Hold
You authorize Tamerx Diesel Products, to hold your credit card for the specified core charge amount and that you agree to return your core with 30 days of receiving the purchased part. When we have received your core return, the hold is released and the core charge payment is canceled.

The Mack MP8 Valve Cover Gasket (OEM 20538793) is an essential component for maintaining the integrity and efficiency of your engine. This gasket is designed to create a tight seal between the valve cover and the engine, preventing oil leaks and ensuring proper engine function.
Key Components of the Mack MP8 Valve Cover Gasket:
- Sealing Material
- The gasket is made from high-quality, durable materials that can withstand the intense heat and pressure of the engine environment.
- Gasket Shape and Design
- Precision-engineered to fit the contours of the Mack MP8 engine, ensuring a perfect seal.
- Bolt Holes
- Pre-drilled holes for easy installation, aligning perfectly with the engine's valve cover bolts.
- Oil Passages
- Specifically designed to prevent oil leaks while allowing proper oil circulation.
Why the Mack MP8 Valve Cover Gasket is Crucial:
- Prevents Oil Leaks
- A properly installed valve cover gasket keeps the oil contained, preventing leaks that could damage other engine parts.
- Maintains Engine Efficiency
- By keeping the oil where it should be, the gasket helps maintain optimal engine durability.
- Protects Engine Components
- Prevents dirt and debris from entering the engine, reducing the risk of damage and wear.
Regular inspection and timely replacement of the valve cover gasket are vital to ensure your Mack MP8 engine runs smoothly.
A faulty valve cover gasket can lead to several issues in your vehicle. Identifying these signs early can save you from more extensive repairs down the road.
Common Symptoms of a Bad Valve Cover Gasket:
- Oil Leaks
- One of the most noticeable signs is oil leaking from the top of the engine. This can often be seen around the edges of the valve cover.
- Burning Oil Smell
- If oil leaks onto hot engine parts, it can produce a distinct burning oil smell. This is a clear indicator that the gasket may need replacing.
- Dirty Valve Cover
- Over time, oil leaks can cause dirt and debris to accumulate on the valve cover, creating a dirty and greasy surface.
- Engine Misfire
- A significant oil leak can cause oil to seep into the spark plug wells, leading to engine misfires or poor engine reliability.
- Low Oil Levels
- Consistent oil leaks result in a gradual drop in oil levels, which can be dangerous for the engine if not addressed promptly.
Other Indicators:
- Check Engine Light
- The vehicle's computer may detect issues related to oil leaks and trigger the check engine light.
- Engine Roughness
- Oil contamination can affect the engine's smooth operation, leading to rough idling or difficulty starting.
Addressing a bad valve cover gasket promptly can prevent further engine damage. If you notice any of these signs, consider inspecting the gasket and replacing it if necessary.
