It provides a vehicle-specific replacement option for an original cover that has become cracked, warped, damaged, or unable to seal correctly. If you are shopping for a Chevy valve cover for a compatible Cruze, Sonic, Trax, Aveo, or Aveo5, use the fitment table above to confirm the model year, engine size, engine designation, and OE reference number before ordering. Why Choose This Aluminum Valve Cover? Rigid Aluminum Construction: The aluminum alloy housing provides a solid replacement for an aging plastic valve cover and is suited to the high-temperature environment at the top of the engine. Vehicle-Specific Fit: Designed around compatible 1.6L and 1.8L applications rather than a universal fit, helping you choose the correct replacement for the listed vehicles. Complete Main Service Components: The cover is supplied with a matching valve cover gasket, mounting bolts, and oil filler cap, so the primary components required for the replacement are included together. Clean Silver Finish: The silver aluminum housing gives the top of the engine a clean finished appearance after installation. Chevy Valve Cover Fitment: What to Check Before Ordering Not all Chevrolet valve covers are interchangeable, even when two vehicles share the same model name. This kit is intended only for the specific 1.6L and 1.8L applications listed in the fitment table. Before purchase, check four details against your vehicle: model year, engine displacement, engine designation, and OE number. For applications where an engine designation or VIN code is listed, use that information as an additional fitment check. You can also compare the shape and mounting points of your original cover with the product images. When Is Valve Cover Replacement Worth Considering? Replacement may be appropriate when inspection finds a cracked or warped cover, physical damage around the housing, or a sealing problem between the cover and cylinder head. Oil around the valve cover edge can indicate a sealing issue, but the leak source should be confirmed before replacing parts. Replacing the cover and gasket together is useful when the original housing itself is damaged rather than simply servicing an otherwise usable cover. Choosing Between Aftermarket Valve Covers When comparing aftermarket valve covers, fitment should come before appearance. Check that the replacement matches your engine application and OE references and includes the components you need for the job. This kit combines a vehicle-specific aluminum housing with the matching gasket and installation hardware for the applications listed above. Installation and Sealing Notes Clean the cylinder head mating surface before installation and remove old gasket material, oil, and debris. Make sure the new gasket is correctly seated before tightening the cover. Because aluminum valve covers are rigid, tighten the mounting bolts evenly using the sequence and torque specification recommended for your vehicle. Excessive torque, uneven tightening, or incorrect gasket placement can affect sealing. Package Contents 1 x Silver Aluminum Valve Cover 1 x Valve Cover Gasket Mounting Bolts 1 x Oil Filler Cap
