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 Detroit DD13 engine is a powerhouse known for its durability, and a key part of maintaining its integrity is the valve cover gasket. The valve cover gasket, specifically the OEM A4710160521, plays a critical role in ensuring the engine runs smoothly.
Key Components of the Valve Cover Gasket
The valve cover gasket serves as a seal between the valve cover and the cylinder head, preventing oil leaks and protecting the engine. Here are the main components:
- Gasket Material
- Made from high-quality rubber or silicone, designed to withstand high temperatures and provide a tight seal.
- Bolt Holes
- Precisely aligned holes that allow for secure attachment to the engine.
- Oil Sealing Ridges
- Raised areas on the gasket that enhance the sealing capability, reducing the risk of oil leaks.
- Reinforcement Layers
- Some gaskets include layers of metal or other materials to add strength and durability.
Importance of the Valve Cover Gasket
Over time, the valve cover gasket can wear out due to constant exposure to heat and pressure. Regular inspections and timely replacements ensure the engine remains protected from oil leaks and other potential damage.
By understanding the components and function of the Detroit DD13 engine valve cover gasket, you can better maintain your engine’s health and efficiency.
The engine valve cover gasket plays a crucial role in keeping your vehicle's engine running smoothly. It seals the valve cover to the top portion of the engine, preventing oil from leaking out. When this gasket fails, it can lead to a range of issues that may impact your engine's efficiency and lifespan.
Common signs of a failing engine valve cover gasket include:
- Oil Leaks
- One of the most noticeable signs is oil leaking from the top of the engine. You may see oil spots under your vehicle or oil residue on the valve cover itself.
- Burning Smell
- If the gasket is leaking oil, it can drip onto hot engine parts, causing a burning oil smell that you can detect inside or outside of the vehicle.
- Decreased Engine Durability
- A leaky gasket can cause oil loss, leading to poor lubrication of engine components and potential damage.
If you notice any of these signs, it's essential to address the issue promptly to avoid further complications. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of the engine valve cover gasket can help keep your engine in top condition.
