Why This Valve Cover Kit Matters
Because replacing just the gasket is like putting a fresh tire on a bent wheel — it won’t fix the problem.
The factory PCV is built into the valve cover, and once it fails (it will), your engine gets:
-
Random misfires
-
Vacuum leaks
-
Whistling noises
-
High idle
-
Oil smell
-
Check engine lights
-
Boost leaks
This kit replaces the ENTIRE assembly, restoring your engine to proper sealed, boosted, working order.
Why Replace the Whole Valve Cover?
Because the GM 1.4L turbo PCV valve is molded into the cover — NOT replaceable separately.
Once it fails, you must replace the entire cover.
This kit gives you:
-
New PCV
-
New seal
-
New hardware
-
No more idle drama
-
No more oil leaks
-
Proper boost and vacuum again
Who This Upgrade Is Perfect For
-
Cruze/Sonic/Trax owners tired of CELs
-
Encore drivers with rough idle or whistling noises
-
Volt/ELR owners trying to keep the engine side of their hybrid healthy
-
DIY mechanics
-
Anyone tired of the smell of cooked oil under the hood

GH –
The valve cover fit perfectly and the gasket was already installed. A new oil fill cap was included as well as new hardware. I’m very pleased with the product.Though not included with the kit but can be found online it is very important to follow the bolt tightening sequence for a leakproop installation.

Oil filler cap not included
This unit fit perfectly on muy 2014 1.4L Turbo Cruze, Ensure that your oil filler cap is in good condition, if not you may need to order that part as well because this unit does not come with one, even though the listing says it does. (unless they missed sending me a full unit)
