So far, so good. What is not in the description.

So far so good. One thing he doesn't list in the description of this item is the valve seal gasket. It also comes with a gasket. I installed it a few weeks ago and so far it's working as expected.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Sad packaging

Does not come with PCV valve installed. Otherwise good product

Please note this Dorman engine valve cover does not come with a PCV valve. I had to buy it from a local auto shop to reassemble my engine. Aside from that minor inconvenience, it worked as expected. Be careful not to overtighten the bolts when attaching to the motor as you can easily loosen/break the bolt.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • No mold required

Fantastic, fits Nissan Altima and comes with required gasket

Received quickly and fits my Nissan Altima 03 2.5L perfectly. The product description doesn't say it comes with the required gasket, but just like that every k led this valve comes with the required gasket! . Just make sure you get it out of the old valve cover. I am happy with this product, it fits well and seems to keep its place in the engine :)

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • Requires socket

Title of this review

Although the cover doesn't say 'Nissan' it seems to fit perfectly. Now I found it very difficult to unscrew one of the engine cover screws. The engine cover MUST be removed to do this. Anyway, the old valve cover had a hose fitting that simply unscrewed and plugged into the new valve cover. Nice to have this new cap with new spark plug seals. It looks like the previous owner (or his mechanic) made something like a "samovar" with silicone sealant that was of pretty poor quality. This is an…

Knock Knock - Valve Cover

Comes with all gaskets which is great BUT it fits very well. Now I have a knock in the engine. I don't know if it's the valves hitting the lid or something else. I'm going to add Sea Foam to my oil to see if that cleans it (I've read it can) and if that fixes the problem, the cap isn't the problem. Edit 3/16/2016: After watching the video provided by user James E. I found that this part failed, just like the one in this video. I have the exact same engine knock as in this video and now I have…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Compatibility

Buy an OEM and avoid this junk. Would never buy

UPDATE - January 2018 As mentioned in my December 2017 update I had concerns about oil leaking from this block in places where it shouldn't and eventually into the throttle body and in the air intake. Of course, my fears were confirmed. I ordered a Nissan OEM cover around Christmas but was unable to fit it due to travel and inclement weather. I finished work on my car on January 10, 2018. I checked the compression first to make sure the problem wasn't bigger than I thought. Compression was the…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Sad hardware
