Detailed Product Description

The Autotecnica TY1416803 engine valve cover is engineered to meet the exact specifications of select Toyota trucks and SUVs, including the 4Runner, T100, Tacoma, and Tundra. Its aluminum composite construction provides a balance of lightweight durability and resistance to engine heat and corrosion. The short valve cover design accommodates DOHC cylinder heads, ensuring proper clearance with an inside clearance height of 50 mm (1.97 inches). The matte grey finish offers a subtle, non-reflective surface that complements the engine bay without drawing unnecessary attention.

With a breather opening sized at 11.9 mm (0.47 inches), this valve cover supports proper ventilation while maintaining engine integrity. The cover does not include an oil filler cap, grommets, hold down tabs, or mounting hardware, so these components must be sourced separately if needed. The 8 mounting holes provide a secure and stable fit, reducing the risk of leaks or misalignment.
