With two valve covers, mounting hardware and gaskets included, the kit provides the essential components required for installation in one convenient package.

What Do Valve Covers Do?

Valve covers enclose and protect the upper valve train components while helping contain engine oil within the cylinder head assembly.

Their main functions include:

• Protecting valve train components from dirt and contamination
• Preventing engine oil from escaping
• Maintaining a sealed environment around the valve gear
• Supporting reliable engine operation
• Protecting internal components from external debris

A correctly fitted valve cover and gasket are essential for maintaining an effective oil seal.

Why Upgrade to Cast Aluminium Valve Covers?

Cast aluminium provides a strong and durable solution for replacing ageing or damaged original valve covers.

Benefits of upgrading include:

• Robust cast aluminium construction
• Improved durability
• Clean engine bay appearance
• Direct bolt-on installation
• New gaskets supplied
• Mounting components included
• Complete two-piece replacement set

This makes the kit particularly suitable for engine refurbishment, restoration and performance-focused builds.

Why Do Valve Covers and Gaskets Fail?

Valve covers are exposed to constant engine heat, vibration and repeated heating and cooling cycles. Over time, covers can become damaged or distorted, while the sealing gaskets gradually harden and lose their ability to maintain an effective seal.

Common problems include:

• Oil leaks around the valve cover
• Hardened or deteriorated gaskets
• Distorted sealing surfaces
• Cracked or damaged covers
• Damaged mounting points
• Previous over-tightening of mounting hardware

Oil visible around the valve cover or cylinder head area can indicate that inspection is required.

When Should They Be Replaced?

Replacement or upgrading should be considered when:

• Valve covers are damaged or distorted
• Persistent oil leaks are present
• Existing gaskets have deteriorated
• Carrying out an engine rebuild
• Restoring or refreshing the engine
• Upgrading to stronger cast aluminium components

Installing new gaskets at the same time helps provide a fresh seal and reduces the risk of leaks from reusing ageing sealing components.

Kit Includes

• 2 x cast aluminium valve covers
• 2 x Valve cover gaskets
• Mounting hardware parts
