Chevy Valve Cover

Does a car exhibiting frequent oil leaks sound exciting and stylish to you? Of course not! The same is true with vans, trucks and sport/utility vehicles having the same kind of problem. No matter how elegant a vehicle is, even if it is completely customized with a body kit and various other body accessories, it will be looked down upon if it leaves a large spot of oil spill on the space from where it was parked. Oil leaks would always give the impression of rotten components under the hood of one's vehicle.

So where are all these oil spills coming from and what causes them to happen? Oil leaks may emanate from a lot of vehicle components although the usual culprits for these spills are the valve cover and the valve cover gasket. The valve cover is the long lid that bolts onto a vehicle's cylinder head and covers the various valve train components. Traditionally made from metal, many modern vehicles are now using plastic or composite materials for valve covers, saving them from corrosions that would usually cause the leaks. The valve cover gasket, on the other hand, is the sealant that keeps the valve cover tight. Valve cover gaskets are usually cork gaskets, rubber gaskets or a combination of both materials.

As we have mentioned in this article, valve covers were traditionally made only from metals. This makes valve covers prone to corrosion, the usual cause of leaks on its surface. But even the plastic and composite valve covers are also prone to damages like warping or deformation due to the heat in the engine compartment. And even if there is no damage on the actual valve cover, oil may still spill out of an old valve cover gasket, especially if it is made of cork that becomes brittle and breaks as it grows older.

To avoid those nasty oil spills and leaks, it is important that you give the valve cover and its gaskets a regular check. Small leaks on the valve cover may be repaired with the help of a mechanic, although heavy leaks or rusty valve covers would call for a replacement. If the valve cover gasket is the cause of the leaks, tightening the cover bolts would usually solve the problem, although it is generally recommended that you also replace the valve cover gaskets if it is already old.

So, is oil dripping fast on the underside of your Chevy? Then you better get a replacement Chevrolet valve cover right away.
