Detailed Description

Mahle Valve Cover Gasket VS50888 is engineered for vehicles that need a precise seal between the valve cover and cylinder head. Mahle focuses on sealing products used in original equipment and service applications, and this gasket follows that approach with fitment for the right side on select Hyundai Santa Fe XL, Santa Fe, Azera, Genesis, Genesis Coupe, and Kia Sedona, Sorento, K900, and Cadenza models.

What It Helps Fix

• Oil seepage around the valve cover edge
• Visible oil residue on the engine exterior
• Burning oil smell from leaks onto hot engine surfaces
• Loss of sealing at the right-side valve cover
• Maintenance issues caused by a worn or hardened gasket

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm right-side placement before installation and verify the engine configuration against the vehicle listing. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and inspect the valve cover for warpage or damage before installing the new gasket. For 2013-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2015-2018 Kia Sedona, the listing notes that the included gasket from the set should be used during installation of the Engine Coolant Thermostat Seal.
