Help keep engine oil sealed in at the top of the engine with the APEX Automobile Parts Inc Valve Cover Gasket Set, part number AVC855S. It is listed for several models, among them the 2000-2008 Toyota Corolla, 2003-2008 Toyota Matrix and 2003-2008 Pontiac Vibe, each with the L4-1.8L engine. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of applications.
A valve cover gasket sits between the valve cover and the cylinder head. It seals that joint so oil stays inside the valve cover and stays out of the engine bay. Over time a gasket can harden, shrink or crack. If a worn gasket is the source of an oil leak at the valve cover, this set replaces it.
Signs this part may need replacing: oil seeping or collecting along the edge of the valve cover, oily residue on the cylinder head, or a burning-oil smell if leaking oil reaches hot exhaust components. Other leak points can cause similar signs, so confirm where the oil is coming from before you replace the gasket.
