This is a valve cover gasket, designed to create a seal between the engine's cylinder head and the valve cover, preventing oil leaks and maintaining internal engine pressure. Manufactured to meet Volvo's high-quality standards, it offers superior resistance to heat and oil degradation compared to a brittle, cracked, or flattened old gasket. Operators may observe oil seeping from the top of the engine, a burning oil smell, or increased oil consumption if this gasket fails.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

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.
The initial symptom of a failing valve cover gasket is often a visible oil leak around the edges of the valve cover. If left unaddressed, the leak can worsen, leading to oil dripping onto hot engine components and creating smoke or a burning smell. Persistent leaks can result in significant oil loss, potentially leading to low oil levels and increased engine wear.
Clean the mating surfaces of both the cylinder head and the valve cover thoroughly to ensure a good seal. Avoid over-tightening the valve cover bolts, as this can warp the cover or crush the new gasket.
Inspect the valve cover itself for any cracks or warping, and check the condition of the breather system components.
