The cylinder head cover, or valve cover, protects the engine's upper valve train and contains the lubricating oil within the head. It prevents external contaminants from entering the engine. A compromised cover or gasket is a frequent source of oil leaks, which can lead to engine odors, smoke if oil drips onto the exhaust, and messy accumulation on the engine block.
It prevents oil leaks to the outside of the engine. Genuine covers will not warp and maintain a perfect fit against the head.
