The car must be cooled first before tampering with the valve cover including repair, inspection or filling up the valve with a new fluid. There are several types of materials used in making valve covers. Frequently used are plastic and aluminum. Plastic valve covers is easy to manage and operate although its efficiency can be compromised if there is insufficient amount of torque on the bolts or if some of the bolts are tightened in place while others are loosely mounted. Such case can result to warped valve cover which means new replacement.

Valve cover made from aluminum can give longer service although you must make sure that it has added baffles to back up the PCV system ports. Too much oil leaks especially on the air filter tray is the common complaints of aluminum valve cover users which can be traced down to the absence of baffles that prevent the free flow of oil up to the breather hose. Aluminum valve cover may also require drilling or tapping of holes in the cylinder head so it may take you longer time before finally setting it in place. The surface of the cylinder must be cleaned first to remove the remains of the old gasket.
