I needed this for my Cruze cause it started spitting out oil and making my car look like a James Bond smoke show. Got it in the mail and it went on super easy, just a watch a YouTube video if you wanna just make sure you install it correctly.

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.

READ THE RETURN POLICY. I bought this item just over a month ago and it worked great for the first 3ish weeks. Valve cover messed up and was squealing while I put my thumb over the valve. No way to return and no way to chat with company to get customer service help. It was a great price but did not work for long… back to the same problem. Now I get to buy the same $250 part from Napa that I should have bought from in the first place (at least they have 90 days warranty).

It has been on my car for months now, and it’s still holding up perfectly, it’s a great product!This valve cover actually stands out compared to other aluminum ones. The gasket is made of high-quality material, and there haven’t been any leaks or issues so far. Fits perfect too.One important tip: make sure to follow the torque sequence properly. This is where many people go wrong. You’ll notice that the bolts tend to loosen slightly after each pass. Keep repeating the torque sequence until all the bolts are tightened to spec. It takes a bit of patience, but it’s worth it to ensure everything stays secure.

Very good quality product. Item is an upgrade for my OEM Valve cover. There was no issues during install and overall I am very pleased. However, there was a delay during shipping. For myself, the delay was not that big of a deal. But for someone with a waiting customer, not good.. was delayed by a whole 1 1/2 days. As stated over all am very happy with product and install. Being an aftermarket upgrade, there are slight differences than the OEM from GM. As to be expected by aftermarket parts. However, the differences were very minor, that don't effect performance.

Didn't work at all, I bought it in order to save a trip to the dealer. First one had screws break inside the head as I tightened down to 70 lbs-in, ordered a 2nd one and it as soon as I turned on my car it ran awful. Oil leaked into the pistons and I got multiple codes, went to the dealer and got the oem one and you could see the difference.
