We will do everything we can to make sure that you get the service you need. We understand how important it is to receive your order as quickly as possible.
In most cases Tamerx Diesel Products only needs one address, as long as your product is shipping to the same location as your billing information. In order to eliminate credit card fraud, your billing information must match the credit card you provide.

The terms, conditions, and details of our warranty vary from product to product. Specific warranty details can be found below.

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. From that point, we will review with you any troubleshooting steps that may need to be taken and other areas or systems that can be checked to rule out external problems contributing to your part's issue. If a replacement is determined to be necessary, we will then arrange for your replacement part to ship out ASAP and issue any necessary return shipping labels and/or documents.

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 engine valve cover gasket is a vital component that seals the top of your engine, preventing oil leaks and protecting critical components from dirt and debris. Over time, this gasket can wear out or become damaged, leading to potential engine problems if not addressed. Knowing how long an engine valve cover gasket typically lasts can help you plan for maintenance and avoid costly repairs. In this blog, we’ll explore the factors that influence the lifespan of an engine valve cover gasket and what you can expect in terms of its longevity.

Factors Influencing the Lifespan of an Engine Valve Cover Gasket

  • Material Quality
    • The durability of the valve cover gasket largely depends on the material used. Gaskets made from high-quality materials, such as silicone or rubber, tend to last longer than those made from lower-quality materials.
  • Driving Conditions
    • Harsh driving conditions, such as frequent stop-and-go traffic, extreme temperatures, or driving on rough terrain, can accelerate the wear and tear on the valve cover gasket, reducing its lifespan.
  • Maintenance Practices
    • Regular maintenance, including timely oil changes and inspections, can help extend the life of the valve cover gasket. Catching and addressing minor issues early can prevent the gasket from wearing out prematurely.
  • Engine Heat
    • The gasket is exposed to high temperatures generated by the engine. Over time, continuous exposure to heat can cause the gasket to become brittle and less effective at sealing, leading to leaks.
  • Installation Quality
    • Proper installation is key to ensuring the valve cover gasket functions as intended. A poorly installed gasket may not seal correctly, leading to leaks and a shorter lifespan.
  • Oil Type and Condition
    • The type of oil used and its condition can affect the gasket’s longevity. Using the correct oil type and changing it regularly can help preserve the gasket’s integrity.

Typical Lifespan

  • Average Lifespan: On average, an engine valve cover gasket can last anywhere from 50,000 to 100,000 miles. However, this range can vary depending on the factors mentioned above. Regular inspections are key to determining when it’s time for a replacement.

The lifespan of an engine valve cover gasket depends on various factors, including material quality, driving conditions, and maintenance practices. By staying on top of regular inspections and addressing any signs of wear early, you can help ensure your gasket lasts as long as possible. If you suspect your valve cover gasket is nearing the end of its life or if you’re experiencing oil leaks, it’s important to have it inspected and replaced by a professional mechanic.
