Product Details
This procedure works for other engine aluminum parts as well. If you remove your valve covers you will need to replace the valve cover gaskets. For the V8 engine, we offer a special kit with instructions. For other valve cover gaskets use the search box above. We also highly recommend you protect your newly cleaned valve covers with anti-corrosive gel ( as explained in this video). This product is also available on our website.
