🚗 High-Quality JDMSPEED Engine Valve Cover & Gasket 31319642 Replacement for Volvo S80 XC60 V70 XC70 XC90 Review

On this vehicle, the valve cover is also an oil separator (PCV). If your Volvo makes a high pitched whistling noise from time to time or you feel like you are losing a lot of oil between changes without leaking, this is the solution. JDMSPEED had the best price and easy to replace.

I don't usually write reviews but the dealer wanted to charge $1200 to replace this part. I watched a YouTube video and replaced it myself in less than 30 minutes. On a difficulty scale of 1 to 10 this was a 2 at best. My 11 year old could have completed this setup. All holes matched perfectly. Just remember to tighten each screw and alternate the front screw with the rear screw when tightening. Stupid whistle completely disappeared after replacement! I hope this helps someone.

It looks like the old shape of the original part. The gaskets do not line up with the screw holes. Since they are cut into the aluminum block, a very bad situation arises, with the possibility of either the screws or worse threaded holes being ripped off in the block. I didn't have much time and needed this to work, so for a TEMPORARY fix I used a dremmel to turn the bushings so the bushings could line up with the holes in the block. I've since bought the right part.

New valve cover installed with ease and works great. I had a little problem with the installation as the screw holes didn't quite line up. Great. This was the result of a slight bulge on the cover that I got, meaning the center touches the motor in front of either side, leaving about a 1/16 inch gap left and right. I decided to tighten the right side first as it's the hardest to access and then I was able to safely bend the left side into place, aligning everything and getting a proper seal. No
