Valve Cover Replacement San Marcos | CA A valve cover is pretty much what it sounds like: A metal cover that sits inside the engine that covers the gasket and keeps the oil inside. That is a good thing. The valve cover is sealed with a cork or rubber seal that keeps any oil from leaking out. Oil is used in your engine to keep the internal parts lubricated and working well. Without the oil, the engine would parts would seize, or freeze together. When the valve cover starts to fail, the oil starts to leak out indicating it is time for a valve cover replacement. So if you notice oil on the ground beneath your car, smell burning oil when you are driving, or need to add oil to your car more than usual, we suggest you get your car inspected as soon as you can. Don’t ignore the low engine oil light and hope it will go away. Valve Cover Replacement is a simple repair if done early and will keep your car running smoothly. Give us a call at KB Motorsports to Schedule your appointment today!
