This gasket basically seals the rocker cover to the cylinder head. The rocker cover is the lid on top of your engine, and this gasket sits right between that cover and the engine itself. It prevents oil and other engine fluids from leaking out, but also keeps dirt and debris from getting in. It's a simple part, but it has a couple of important jobs. Think of it as part of your engine's upper seal. Everything up there, the valve train specifically, gets lubricated with oil. That oil needs to stay inside the engine where it’s doing its job, and this gasket is a key part of making that happen. It doesn’t directly make the engine go, but everything it seals does. If this gasket fails, you’ll start to see oil leaks. They're usually pretty noticeable, and can range from a small drip to a pretty significant puddle under your car. Oil leaks can cause all sorts of issues – they’re a fire hazard, they can make a mess, and of course, losing oil is bad for your engine's health. Sometimes a failing gasket will also lead to smoke, or even the smell of burning oil. You’ll notice if you have a leak, trust me. It’s one of those parts where preventative maintenance is a good idea, because a blown gasket can lead to bigger, more expensive problems down the line. You can find a replacement pretty easily—Fixparts Online carries a good selection of them, and it's generally a straightforward repair if you're comfortable doing it yourself.
