Valve Cover Ventilation Valve Kit (Valve Cover Orifice)

Valve Cover Ventilation Valve Kit (Valve Cover Orifice)

I fix a lot of 1.4 and 1.5 engines. The following vehicles have this same type of ventilation valve in the valve cover. If you do not have my PCV Fix/Re-Route kit installed what ends up happening is your ventilation valve will clog. I have worked on prototypes to remove this valve completely and what I found is the engine will always be unhappy with it being gone or blocked off. You cannot do this. The engine needs this in the valve cover. What it does is regulate air flow and disperse it across the crankcase. It will also close off the crankcase at a certain boost level so the turbo can put the crankcase into a (+)(-) specific air flow to prevent piston ring issues. This valve is needed. Since it is needed the ECM accounts for the crankcase flow as part of its air fuel ratio calculations. Because of this I put together a simple repair kit. Not every engine needs this repair but if you do this kit is designed for you. It will come with everything needed to pull a valve cover and swap out the valve. I added 2 options to this kit. If you are doing this repair and the vacuum pump has a lot of miles on it you can add the pump to this kit. If you do not have the PCV reroute/PCV Fix kit for the gen 2 cruze or the 1.5 engines found in the Malibu, Equinox, Terrain, and Vanderhall you will have tons of moisture fuel and oil vapors causing gunk and build up. So you can add that kit as well. 

Included in this kit:

Valve Cover Ventilation Orifice

Valve Cover Inner Gasket

Valve Cover Outer Gasket

Vacuum Pump Cam Seal

Injector Seal Kits

Optional: New Vacuum Pump

Optional But Highly Recommended: PCV Re-Route

NOTE: When removing the valve cover the fuel rail and vacuum pump have to be removed to perform the repair. So I added those gaskets into the kit.
