Additional information

This engine valve cover installs over the valve train area and helps keep engine oil contained while protecting valves and related components. Part number 951-11220 seals against the cylinder head to maintain proper lubrication and prevent debris from entering the engine.

If the valve cover cracks, warps, or fails to seal properly, oil may leak around the engine or collect near the valve area. You may notice oil residue, burning oil smells, or a gradual drop in oil level during operation.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental engine startup. Clean the sealing surface before installing the cover and handle it carefully to avoid damaging the gasket or mating surface.
