Replacement valve cover gasket for 24v VR6 engines. Designed to stop oil leaks and protect your valvetrain in 2.8L and 3.2L applications.
$24.75
The 022 103 483E valve cover gasket is a critical sealing component for the 24v VR6 engine architecture. Positioned between the cylinder head and the valve cover, this gasket maintains a pressurized seal to keep engine oil contained within the upper valvetrain.
As the 2.8L and 3.2L VR6 engines age, the original rubber gasket becomes brittle due to constant exposure to high operating temperatures. Replacing a degraded gasket is essential to prevent oil from leaking onto hot engine components or seeping into the spark plug wells, which can cause ignition misfires and damage to the ignition coils.
The 022 103 483E valve cover gasket is the first line of defense against oil loss and engine bay contamination. In the compact 24v VR6 design, maintaining consistent oil pressure and volume is vital for the health of the hydraulic lifters and dual overhead camshafts.
A failed gasket allows oil to escape, leading to low oil levels between service intervals and the distinct smell of burning oil inside the cabin.
Keep your engine performing reliably by inspecting for these common failure symptoms:
Visible oil seepage around the perimeter of the valve cover.
Accumulation of oil in the spark plug tubes (leading to misfires).
Constant “burning oil” smell when the engine is at operating temperature.
Low oil level warnings between scheduled oil changes.
Smoke rising from the engine bay as oil drips onto the exhaust manifold.
If your 24v VR6 vehicle has exceeded 80,000 miles, the 022 103 483E valve cover gasket should be a priority inspection item during your next service.
OE Part Number: 022 103 483E
Applications: Specifically for 24v VR6 2.8L and 3.2L engines.
Material: Heat-resistant elastomer designed for high-temperature durability.
Precision Fit: Manufactured to original equipment tolerances for a secure seal.
Durability: Resists degradation from engine chemicals and synthetic oils.
Note: It is highly recommended to replace spark plug tube seals (022 103 484F) simultaneously.
Always verify fitment by VIN before ordering. Before installing the 022 103 483E valve cover gasket, clean the mating surfaces on both the cylinder head and the valve cover with a safe degreaser. Ensure all debris and old gasket residue is removed to prevent future leaks.
Tighten the valve cover bolts in the manufacturer-specified sequence and torque to prevent warping or uneven pressure. Inspect the PCV system components during this service, as excessive crankcase pressure can cause a new gasket to fail prematurely.
Always verify fitment by VIN before ordering.
