Sealing the valve cover to the cylinder head, this valve cover gasket keeps engine oil contained around the valvetrain and stops it weeping out along the top of the head. It sits at a joint that is bolted down but runs warm, and once the gasket hardens or cracks it lets oil seep past. Replacing it during any valve cover service restores a clean, oil-tight seal.
Sealing the valve cover to the cylinder head, this valve cover gasket keeps engine oil contained around the valvetrain and stops it weeping out along the top of the head. It sits at a joint that is bolted down but runs warm and sees constant oil splash, and once the gasket hardens or cracks it lets oil seep past.
That leak shows up as oil around the valve cover, on the head, or dripping onto lower engine components. Replacing it during any valve cover service restores a clean, oil-tight seal at that joint, inexpensive relief for one of the more common sources of an engine oil leak.
Confirm the gasket matches the valve cover and head it seals, since valve cover gaskets are cut to a specific engine's cover profile.
