What is it?
The valve cover is mounted on the top of the engine. It covers the valves of the engine, protects the machinery from the elements, and prevents oil leaks. A valve cover gasket seals the valve cover to the top portion of the engine cylinder head. The gasket prevents motor oil from leaking out as it travels around the camshafts, rockers and valves.
This valve cover is made of high-quality materials to resist warping, cracking and porousness, corrosion resistant for sustained protection of the rocker arms.
If valve cover becomes loose or if the gasket material fails, the oil will begin to leak. A leak can cause the engine to have a very strong smell of burning oil, and in some serious cases, it can even cause a fire if enough oil gets onto the exhaust system.
Cracks, corrosion, and misalignment of the valve cover can cause fluid to leak into the engine compartments and lead to engine failure. Catching a leak early on and can help you keep your vehicle running better.
