The valve cover is located on top of the engine and is connected by a rubber or cork gasket, which prevents oil leaks. This guide shows how to remove these covers to access the valves for adjustment.

Due to the high temperature of the engine, these gaskets can break. In this case, if you notice an oil leak, an oil smell, or debris, an inspection may be necessary, leading to the removal and replacement of the valve cover gasket.
