Installation Notes and Tips

Clean the valve cover and cylinder head sealing surfaces before installation. Check the cover for warpage, corrosion, or damage that can prevent a uniform seal. Verify the application against the vehicle listing before ordering, especially on classic Chevrolet C10, Camaro, Corvette, and GMC truck platforms. The PCV valve grommet is not included, so confirm whether your application requires a separate grommet.
