Corteco 440067P Cylinder Head Cover Gasket

Description

The Corteco 440067P is a cylinder head cover gasket designed to create a tight seal between the cylinder head and the valve cover, preventing oil and coolant leaks. It is used in engine applications to maintain proper lubrication and temperature regulation. This gasket enhances engine reliability by ensuring a leak-free environment, contributing to optimal performance and longevity. It measures 28 x 350 x 580 mm and is manufactured in Taiwan.

Key Features & Benefits

This gasket basically seals the space between the cylinder head and the valve cover. It prevents oil and coolant from leaking out, and keeps dirt and debris from getting in. Think of it like a lid on a container – it needs to be airtight to keep everything where it belongs. It also helps maintain proper engine compression, though it’s not a primary sealing point for that. It’s a crucial part of the top end of your engine. It sits right up top, under where you’d add oil. Without it, you’d have oil leaking everywhere pretty quickly. It’s part of the system that keeps your engine lubricated and running smoothly.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It might seem like a small piece, but a failing cylinder head cover gasket can cause a real mess, and eventually, bigger problems. You’ll notice if it starts to go because you’ll see oil leaking out, usually around the edges of the valve cover. That’s a sign you need to address it. If left unchecked, oil leaking onto hot engine parts can cause smoke, and can even lead to more serious engine damage. It's one of those preventative maintenance things – a relatively inexpensive part that can save you a lot of headaches down the road. We actually carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and it’s a pretty straightforward repair for someone comfortable working on engines.
