317-3064 Valve Cover Gasket — Cat M316D M318D

This valve cover gasket creates a seal between the engine's valve cover and the cylinder head, preventing oil and combustion gases from escaping the crankcase. It is manufactured to OEM quality standards, providing a durable seal unlike a brittle or cracked gasket that allows leaks. Operators may notice oil leaks around the top of the engine, a burning oil smell, or increased oil consumption when this gasket fails.

Installation & Application Notes

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.

Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.

Failure Symptoms

The initial symptom of a failing valve cover gasket is typically visible oil seepage or drips around the edges of the valve cover. If left unaddressed, the leak will worsen, potentially leading to significant oil loss, a strong burning oil smell as oil contacts hot engine parts, and increased risk of engine component damage due to low oil levels. Continued operation with a leaking gasket can lead to internal engine contamination and reduced lubrication.

Installation Tip

Ensure the valve cover and cylinder head sealing surfaces are perfectly clean and free of old gasket material or oil residue before installing the new gasket. Tighten the valve cover bolts in the specified sequence and to the correct torque to ensure an even seal.

Service Note

When replacing the valve cover gasket, it is a good practice to inspect the valve train components for wear and check the condition of the breather system.
