Dog-House Seals

Hi,

Looking to replace the seal on my dog-house (engine cover). It is a 2008 Forest River Georgetown 373DS; Ford V10 engine F53 chassis. It has a double bulb push on seal.

I've looked online and although I've found a few that are close to what I have, but most have a temp range of -50 to 150 Fahrenheit.

My concern is, would that be sufficient. A V10 can get up to 300-400 degrees. I do realize there is an air gap and it won't rest "on the engine".

Thoughts, suggestions?

Thanks
Lar

Exhaust is the only really hot part of the engine. Engine temp should be 200 to 230 under normal operation. So those seals you found should be good.
