SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Vehicles diagnosed with an engine oil leak at the cylinder head gasket need to have the original cover replaced with a cover that uses silicone rubber
adhesive sealant (RTV) instead of a gasket for the cylinder head to valve cover seal.

NOTE:
RTV SEALER, WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE KIT, IS ALSO REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THIS SERVICE. ORDER RTV

REPAIR PROCEDURE
This procedure involves replacement of the cylinder head cover with a cover that uses RTV sealant instead of a gasket.
The original components--cover, gasket and fasteners--are not interchangeable and should be discarded. The original fasteners are too long to be used
with the RTV-type valve cover.
