Cylinder Head Cover Gasket Set - Elring - 389.280

This gasket set is compatible with specific models of Toyota Yaris/Vitz (_P1_ and _P9_), Daihatsu Copen (L880_), and Perodua Myvi (M30_). Please verify your vehicle's exact specifications against the product description before purchasing.

The primary function is to create a seal between the cylinder head and the valve cover, preventing engine oil from leaking out of the engine's valvetrain area.

'OE-quality' means the part is manufactured to meet or exceed the standards set by the original equipment manufacturer, ensuring equivalent performance, fit, and durability.

Installation requires mechanical knowledge and specific tools. If you are not experienced with engine work, it is recommended to have it installed by a qualified mechanic.

Signs include visible oil leaks around the edges of the valve cover, a burning oil smell, or low oil levels detected during routine checks.

The part number is 389.280.

Yes, both the cylinder head and valve cover mating surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned of all old gasket material, oil, and debris to ensure a proper seal.

Ensure the valve cover and cylinder head mating surfaces were perfectly clean before installation. Verify the gasket was seated correctly and the valve cover bolts were tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque in the correct sequence. If leaks persist, the gasket may be faulty or the valve cover may be warped.

While unlikely to be directly caused by the gasket itself, an improperly seated gasket could potentially interfere with the ignition system or cause vacuum leaks. Re-check the installation and ensure all components are correctly reassembled. Consult a mechanic if the issue persists.

Double-check your vehicle's exact specifications (year, model, engine code) and compare them against the compatibility list provided. If unsure, consult your vehicle's owner's manual or a dealership.
