A valve cover gasket is a crucial engine seal between the valve cover and cylinder head. It prevents hot engine oil from leaking out and keeping debris from getting in. And is typically made of rubber, cork, or silicone, and requiring replacement when it wears out. Often signaled by oil leaks or a burning smell. Failure to replace a bad gasket can lead to severe engine damage from lack of lubrication or contamination.
