- Regular inspection and timely replacement of the valve cover gasket are critical aspects of routine vehicle maintenance. Signs of a failing gasket include oil stains beneath the vehicle, oil pooling around the valve cover, or a burning oil smell. If detected early, a simple gasket replacement can prevent costly engine repairs.
Lay out the pieces of the new gasket on clean newspaper, and note how the joints fit.
Remove the cylinder head (See How to remove a cylinder head ), carefully peeling off the old gasket from the head or block. Make sure no dirt or carbon falls into the engine.
