The Vertex Valve Cover Gasket (VER617197) is a precision-manufactured replacement gasket for compatible personal watercraft (PWC) and powersports applications. Valve cover gaskets form the seal between the valve cover and the cylinder head — when they fail, oil leaks from the top of the engine, causing mess, potential fire risk near hot exhaust components, and eventual low-oil engine damage if left unaddressed.

Vertex is recognised as one of the most comprehensive gasket manufacturers in the powersports industry, with USA-made products covering motorcycle, ATV, snowmobile, and PWC applications. Each Vertex gasket is manufactured to precise OEM dimensions to ensure reliable sealing without the need for additional sealant.
