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 engine valve cover gasket in a Cummins ISX engine plays a crucial role in maintaining engine health. This gasket, specifically OEM 4955591, ensures a tight seal between the valve cover and the cylinder head, preventing oil leaks that could lead to engine damage.
Key Functions of the Engine Valve Cover Gasket:
- Sealing
- The primary role of the gasket is to create a secure seal, keeping engine oil inside while preventing contaminants from entering.
- Oil Containment
- It helps in containing oil within the valve cover, ensuring proper lubrication of the engine’s components.
- Heat Resistance
- The gasket is designed to withstand the high temperatures of the engine, maintaining its integrity over time.
Over time, the valve cover gasket may wear out due to exposure to heat and pressure, leading to potential oil leaks. If left unchecked, this can cause a range of engine problems, including decreased durability and increased wear on engine components.
Regular inspection and timely replacement of the engine valve cover gasket, OEM 4955591, are essential to ensure the longevity and efficiency of your Cummins ISX engine. Keep an eye out for signs of wear or leaks to avoid costly repairs.
The engine valve cover gasket plays a crucial role in sealing the top of the engine and preventing oil leaks. Over time, this gasket can wear out, leading to various symptoms that signal the need for replacement.
One of the most common signs of a failing valve cover gasket is the presence of oil leaks. If you notice oil pooling around the engine or on the ground beneath your vehicle, it could be a sign that the gasket is no longer providing a proper seal.
Here are some additional symptoms to watch for:
- Burning oil smell
- A failing gasket can cause oil to leak onto the engine, creating a noticeable burning smell.
- Engine misfire
- Oil seeping into the spark plug wells can cause the engine to misfire or run rough.
- Low oil levels
- Frequent drops in oil levels without any visible leaks could indicate an internal leak from the gasket.
- Smoke from the engine bay
- If oil leaks onto hot engine components, it can cause smoke to rise from under the hood.
Addressing these symptoms promptly is essential to prevent further damage to your engine. If you suspect a failed valve cover gasket, consider inspecting it as soon as possible to avoid costly repairs.
