Good To Know

Q: Does this valve cover come with a gasket? A: Confirm with the listing whether a gasket is included, and if not, order the correct valve cover gasket set for your engine model.

Q: Can I reuse the original coil mounts? A: Yes, the mounting points are laid out to accept the factory coil and vent hardware, so original fasteners and coils can be reused.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
