The engine valve cover gasket is a rubber seal that fits between the engine cylinder head and the valve cover to prevent fluids from leaking from the valve cover while the valve train is running and lubricated. This seal generally should be replaced if the valve cover is removed for maintenance to make sure a proper seal is made between the two surfaces. Due to high heat and chemical exposure, the valve cover gasket can become brittle and lose the ability to seal on the cylinder head, causing oil leaks around the circumference of the engine, and also in the valley containing the spark plugs.

About this Valve Cover Gasket

The GENUINE PORSCHE 96410513501 valve cover gasket seals the cover on top of the engine's cylinder head, keeping oil in. Gaskets harden with heat over time, and a leaking valve cover gasket is one of the most common oil leaks on European engines.

Frequently asked questions

What are the signs of a leaking valve cover gasket?

Oil seeping around the edge of the valve cover, a burning oil smell as oil drips onto the exhaust, smoke from the engine bay, or oil in the spark plug wells that can cause misfires.

What should I replace along with the gasket?

Replace the spark plug tube seals if your engine has them, the valve cover bolt grommets or seals, and any related gaskets included in a set. Check the crankcase ventilation valve, as excess crankcase pressure can push oil past new gaskets.

Should I clean the sealing surfaces?

Yes. Remove all old gasket material and oil from the cover and cylinder head without scratching them, and apply sealant only where the manufacturer specifies, usually at the corners where the head meets the timing cover.

Can I replace a valve cover gasket myself?

On many engines it is a manageable job with basic tools. Tighten the cover bolts in the correct sequence to the specified torque; overtightening can crack plastic covers and distort the gasket.

How do I make sure this valve cover gasket fits my car?
