Detailed Description

Apex AES302 is built for engine service work where valve cover sealing integrity matters. This grommet set fits a broad range of GM vehicles, including the Buick Regal and LeSabre, Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, and Pontiac Grand Prix and Bonneville. It also covers older Cadillac, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac platforms that use the same valve cover grommet application. If you are replacing worn, flattened, or hardened valve cover grommets, AES302 provides the correct service part reference for these engines.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing deteriorated valve cover grommets during engine maintenance
• Addressing oil seepage around valve cover fastener points
• Restoring proper sealing on aging GM V6 engine covers
• Servicing vehicles with repeated valve cover removal and reinstallation
• Supporting maintenance on Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine application before installation, since fitment varies by year and model. Clean the valve cover and fastener surfaces thoroughly before installing the new grommets, and inspect the cover for warping or damage that could affect sealing. Confirm the part number AES302 against the vehicle service information for the exact engine configuration.

Quality Assurance

Apex AES302 is cataloged for direct vehicle fitment across the listed GM applications. Confirm the vehicle year, make, and model against the fitment data before ordering.
