Mopar Valve Covers

Valve Covers Protect Your Chrysler’s Engine

Valve covers help seal the top of the engine and prevent oil from leaking out. They also protect the internal components from dirt and debris in a Chrysler Pacifica or a Chrysler 300. Over time, heat and pressure can cause the gasket to deteriorate, leading to oil leaks. If left unchecked, this can lead to engine damage and costly repairs.

Why Valve Covers Fail

Most failures happen due to worn gaskets, cracks, or improper installation. The gasket forms a tight seal but can dry out and crack over time. Excessive heat and repeated temperature changes accelerate wear, making leaks more likely. If there’s a burning oil smell or visible oil leaks, the valve cover or gasket may need replacement.

Replace with Genuine Chrysler Valve Covers

Replacing a failing valve cover promptly prevents oil loss and engine contamination. Genuine Chrysler valve covers from Mopar-Direct provide a precise fit and reliable durability. Aftermarket options may not seal correctly, leading to persistent leaks. While addressing a valve cover issue, consider checking the cylinder heads for signs of wear or damage.
