Where is the valve cover gasket located?
1 Answers
The valve cover gasket is located at the junction between the cylinder head and the valve cover. The valve cover gasket is a rubber seal that can be seen when the valve cover is removed. Each spark plug tube has a gasket, which serves to seal and prevent oil leakage. Below are the functions of the valve cover gasket: 1. The engine valve cover, also known as the valve chamber cover, is the sealing component at the top of the engine. It corresponds to the oil pan to enclose the engine lubricating oil, ensuring that the lubricating oil does not leak during engine operation; 2. The cylinder head corresponds to the cylinder block. The corresponding valves are installed on the cylinder head, and together with the cylinder block assembly, they form a sealed compression chamber where the combustible mixture burns under certain conditions; 3. The uppermost part is the valve cover, followed by the cylinder head, then the cylinder block, and the lowest part is the oil pan.
