The combustion engine has a number of integrated valves. These valves ensure the air supply to the cylinders and also ensure that the combustion gases are discharged again. These valves and the camshaft are lubricated with engine oil. The rocker cover offers protection to the engine parts such as the valves and the cylinders. The rocker cover ensures that no oil can leak out of the lubricated parts and also ensures that no dirt and air from outside can reach the parts. This is very important, because it prevents wear on the engine parts.
Rocker cover broken
Do you notice that oil is starting to leak from the rocker cover? First check whether the rocker cover gasket is still in order. This part generally wears out faster than the rocker cover itself. However, rust or wear can occur on the rocker cover over time. The material can eventually crack, which can be very damaging to the engine. Dirt and moisture can now penetrate into the engine parts and spread through the engine oil. This can cause wear and eventually cause a lot of damage. A broken rocker cover should therefore be replaced as soon as possible.
Replace rocker cover
The rocker cover is mounted on top of the engine and is therefore often a relatively easy part to replace. This mainly depends on the type of car and how many parts are still mounted on top of the rocker cover. When you are going to replace the rocker cover, it is recommended to immediately renew the rocker cover gasket. Would you rather leave the job to the garage? In that case, make sure that you purchase the parts cheaply from Winparts and deliver them to the garage yourself. This often saves you a lot of costs!
