Additional information
This engine valve cover kit installs over the valve train area and helps seal the engine to prevent oil leaks while protecting valves and related components. Part number 951-11333 includes the components needed to close off the valve area securely during normal engine operation.
If the valve cover or sealing surfaces wear out or become damaged, oil may leak around the engine or collect near the valve area. You might notice oil residue, burning oil smells, or a gradual drop in oil level during use.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental engine startup. Clean the sealing surface before installation and handle the cover carefully to avoid damaging the gasket or mating surfaces.
