Engine Valve Cover with Gaskets & Bolts & Oil Filler Cap Set for 2011-2021 Chevrolet Chevy Cruze Sonic Volt Trax Buick Encore Cadillac ELR 1.4L 264-968 25203036 25198874 55573746 25198498

First off per several negative reviews speaking of broken bolts “DO NOT” torque the bolts to 70FT/lbs!!! The value is in INCH/POUNDS!! GM specs state 70 inch/lbs. It’s about 6ft/lbs. Those bolts will definitely break. I didn’t have an inch/lb torque wrench so I used a quarter drive ratchet without full leverage on the handle. At that point it’s all about finesse and feel. Initial impression of the valve cover was that it appeared to be quality built and pretty much identical to the OEM part. It fit perfectly and was a simple easy install. I’ve driven about 800 miles since I installed the valve cover. So far it’s been great. “Chirping” noise instantly gone. No oil leaks from the new cover. Seems to have restored some power and improved gas mileage. Problem resolved. Time will tell if the built in valve that failed on the OEM cover is a quality part or not. We’ll see.

Bought this for a 1.4 Cruze and is a perfect fit for replacement. One of the best deals out there for what your getting with this part. Just make sure you torque the bolts to spec in the right order and you're good to go. Highly recommend as a replacement.

perfect fit

Worked great

I installed this part a week ago and have driven well over 100 miles without incident. This part doesn't seem to be any less quality than the OE part I pulled off, and is likely similar in quality to what you would get through Autozone. Many of the issues mentioned in the negative reviews are likely attributable to improper installation since there is a very specific sequence in which the bolts need to be tightened. If this sequence is not followed the cover can crack, or it can warp which will cause it to leak or fail prematurely. Also the torque spec on these bolts is only 71 in-lbs not 71 ft-lbs. If you try to put 71 ft-lbs on thes bolts, they will surely snap long before you get there as that is twelve times the amount of torque you are supposed to put on these bolts. Lastly a small bead of rtv should be applied at the two spots where the timing cover meets the head. This will also cause an oil leak if not done. I will update this review if any issues in the future, but I do not foresee it failing with proper installation.

Terrible started weeping out the side 3 days after install leakage everywhere over my engine and transmission.

Fit a 2013 Chevy Cruze Eco. Youtube University made for an easy install. Don’t forget to use gasket maker (not included) along the two engine seams on the passenger side before install. The gasket pre installed on the cover and the caged bolts are what convinced me to buy the complete cover vs just the gasket. The gasket was seated and secure on the cover, all I had to do was place it on the engine. No more oil leaks, I’m happy.

It worked out, the gasket took a little extra finesse to get seated.
