To cover the valve train assembly and prevent oil from being sprayed all over the engine compartment. It also protects the valve assembly from debris of any kind entering the lubrication system.
Please restate the question. What are you talking about? Valve cover gaskets, valve cover, what? need a valve cover
There are valve cover bolts around the perimeter of the valve cover. You want these tight but not as tight as you can get them.
Contacted the dealer and the 02 does not have an egr valve The original question was "where is the PCV valve located? An EGR stands for "exhaust gas recirculation" which is different from a PCV valve "positive crank case ventilation". Each serves a unique and different function within the engine. Therefore the original question remains unanswered! daaaaa... The PCV valve is located on the back side of the valve cover. You will see the hose that the valve is connected to, running out from the back of the valve cover. The actual PCV valve is screwed into the valve cover, and the hose will have to be disconnected to access the valve.
As with all valve gaskets it is located between the valve cover and the head. To get to it you undo all bolts holding the valve cover on and then pull valve cover off. you will find it on the valve cover/ head contact point.
it is on the valve cover, usually in the driver side valve cover. If you have a 2.2 L engine, it doesn't have a serviceable PCV valve, it is built into the valve cover.
# The PCV valve is located in the valve cover # Detach the hose from the valve then unscrew the valve from the valve cover
Remove the valve cover.....scrape off old gasket.....clean gasket surface on valve cover....apply gasket sealent to valve cover gasket surface.....set gasket in sealent.....reinstall valve cover.
Assuming you mean "valve cover gasket", the gasket seals the valve cover to the head so as not to leak oil.
the signs of a valve cover leak are oil on the engine oil is the only thing that can leak from a leaky valve cover
It is in the driver side valve cover, you must change the valve cover to replace the PVC valve.
* The PCV valve is located in the valve cover. * Detach the hose from the valve cover and pull out the PCV valve
If you are asking because of your valve cover leaking oil, there was a recall on that year valve cover gasket.
