Should get the valve cover gasket with both the forward and aft separate pieces in the kit. See the Bentley manual for a pictorial. If the pieces are not installed in the right sequence, you'll get a leak. If the valve cover is warped, bent, or has indentations where the nuts/washers clamp down, it'll leak. The baffle built into the valve cover is the intake for the PCV system on this particular engine. Its not a filter. If you follow the air hose that attaches atop the valve cover, you'll see it goes to the air filter housing box. -- Jonny |

True. Old adage. If it works, don't fix it.
