Troubleshooting
Oil leak detected after installation
Ensure the gasket was installed correctly and the cylinder head cover bolts were torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. Re-check mating surfaces for cleanliness and flatness. If the issue persists, the gasket may be faulty or the cover may be warped, requiring professional inspection.
Product does not seem to fit
Double-check the vehicle's make, model, year, and engine variant against the compatibility list. Verify that the part number RC1639SK matches your requirement and compare physical dimensions if possible. Ensure no foreign objects or debris are obstructing the fitment.
Engine performance issues (e.g., rough idle, loss of power)
