Remove all traces of the old gasket and oil deposits before fitting the new silicone gasket. Seat the gasket evenly in the valve cover groove, then reinstall using the correct torque values to avoid warping. After reassembly, check for leaks after warm-up and re-torque if required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1993\" data-end=\"2316\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1993\" data-end=\"2013\"\u003eWhen to replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2013\" data-end=\"2016\"\u003eReplace when visible oil leaks occur around the valve cover, if the gasket has become brittle, hardened, or flattened, or during any top-end engine service. Upgrading to silicone provides longer service life, superior sealing, and resistance to oil and heat degradation compared to standard rubber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2318\" data-end=\"2407\"\u003eNot sure if this part fits your vehicle?
