How To | 2013+ | Buick/Chevy | Encore/Trax | Valve Cover

[@jatx5126]

What’s the spray you used to clean? What’s that other part broken you had to replace? What you used with the drill to scrape leftover material?

[@climatecontrolmechanics]

Why cleaning the valve coven when you can change it , is very cheap to do it !! That way you don’t have problems with a diaphragm failure and a bunch of codes.. good job and thanks !!

2016 Buick Encore. Doing mine because of code p0171. It has a ruptured diaphragm again. This time I bought the vc3 Cruz kit. Hopefully this is the last time I need to do this. Thanks for the video. I almost forgot you need to add silicone where the timing cover meets the head. No mention in Alldatadiy?

Gasket I got from felpro has oil rings where do they go

[@scottgarvy]

I got it done. I didn't have a torque wrench that goes that low. Had to do it by feel.

I’m getting code p0171 dealer saying cam shaft cover…

[@AutomotiveDysfunction]

Could be couple things like : evap emission purge solenoid valance ,pcv,check for vacum leaks .. Check air cleaner for outlet duct for splits Check vacum , air leaks Verify good fuel quality and proper pressure Clean MAF sensor (with breaks clean and dry/blow off right away with air

[@AutomotiveDysfunction]

Yes it could be … get new camshaft cover with new gasket

[@punishrs]

Could this cause a p0171 code?

[@lilsavagegod]

yes

[@wmuchmore]

Most likely the diaphragm on the upper right hand side of the cover.

[@Shortstop_901]

Mines has the same code also stablitrack light comes on and off

[@italianozuzu1232]

Nice 👍

[@taracurran9174]

You cannot reuse that valve cover!!! The bolts will strip when you try to torque them!!

[@AutomotiveDysfunction]

@@taracurran9174 never hear that one before lol … the only time you shouldn’t reuse the valve cover(only on this vehicle model ) is because of pcv built in…

[@heathnunley502]

What’s the torque spec mf?!? Jesus
