You will find your Jeep valve cover bolted on to your engine's cylinder head. Located at the top of your engine block, the cylinder head is the component that contains your combustion chambers where the fuel/air mixture is ignited to power your vehicle. The Jeep valve cover is part of a system called the valve train, which consists of valve springs, rocker arms, push rods, lifters, and cams.
The valve train is responsible for allowing the fuel/air mixture into the combustion cylinders, and the resultant exhaust out. These parts are protected by the Jeep valve cover, which forms a tight seal using a valve cover gasket to protect your valve train from leaks.
Surprisingly enough, the Jeep valve cover is a customizable part that is available in many different materials, including chrome, billet, carbon fiber, and aluminum. Jeep valve covers are adjustable and made to be easily removed and refastened in order to suit the valve train. One of the most common sources of oil leaks in engines is along the Jeep valve cover. This may be due to the gasket, or it may result from damage to the Jeep valve cover itself. If your Jeep valve cover is bent or dented, or it has been screwed on too tightly, oil can leak through.
