Frequently Asked Questions
What are some signs of a bad valve cover gasket?
As mentioned above, oil collecting within your engine bay or other areas under the hood could indicate that the valve cover that keeps oil inside of your engine is becoming loose, worn, or stuck. Additionally, the smell of burning oil is a strong indicator that there could be seepage onto the engine manifold. Routine/preventative maintenance checks can check if there’s a proper seal around your valve cover gasket, but this isn’t a part you will need to routinely replace unless it is truly damaged, or unable to perform its intended function.
Why is it important to replace a valve cover gasket?
If your engine is persistently leaking oil or you’re dealing with a faulty gasket, it can cause the engine to run dry, leading to catastrophic malfunction. (Meaning, your vehicle will need extensive engine repair or replacement in order to work.) Ensuring that minor components like the valve gasket are replaced if needed goes a long way in protecting the overall investment you have in your vehicle.
“Had 2 vehicles detailed by them this week and the service is incredibly convenient! Their text-based system let me know when their valet was coming to pick up or drop off my car, and they included a live map to see how far away they were. Detailing was good and the cars looked great. All random knick knacks were placed in the back / trunk. Same day turn around without me having to leave my house makes this a service I'd definitely use again.”
