Chevy CK Pickup Valve Covers & Parts

As a rule, a valve cover is mounted on top of the engine cylinder. Mounting configurations differ depending on engine design, but the purpose of this component is always the same – it covers a cylinder head. Thus, it covers the moving parts of the valvetrain such as valves, valve springs, and camshafts. Moving engine parts are constantly lubricated with oil to reduce friction. For this purpose, oil continuously circulates throughout the system and the valve cover prevents it from leaking out of the engine. The valve cover is usually mounted to the cylinder head with the help of bolts and a rubber gasket. If the gasket fails or the cover becomes loose, it can cause oil leaks.

Your Chevy CK Pickup is capable of taking you and your cargo to the place of destination in comfort and with all possible efficiency. However, your vehicle’s mighty engine would hardly provide great performance if the oil is leaking because of a faulty valve cover or gasket. While checking your engine, be very attentive, as on early stages a valve cover leak is hard to notice.
