Valve Cover: Description and Operation






DESCRIPTION





The 3.0L cylinder head covers are made of cast aluminum and incorporate a oil drain back hole for the crankcase ventilation (CCV) system. The covers serve as engine noise inhibitors and are specifically designed to act as camshaft main caps and thrust washers. Care must be taken when sealing the cover as too much sealant, or sealant installed improperly may effect camshaft main cap clearances.
