Dorman 264-968 Engine Valve Cover Compatible with Select Buick/Cadillac/Chevrolet Models

Okay first of all, I bought a 2013 Chevy Cruze LT 1.4T at 206K miles for 2.2K. I considered it a good deal as the car ran smoothly for the mileage it had. (IF YOU DO NOT TRUST YOURSELF TO LEARN AS YOU FIX, THINK TWICE ABOUT REPLICATING MY ACTIONS) I researched how reliable this car was and saw many had issues due to cooling and air intake. I have spent about 1.4K on parts (which includes brake pads, brake rotors, thermostat housing, valve cover, this intake manifold, 4 new tires, spark plugs, a set of GM fuses, an ignition coil, wipers, small PCV hose, a new battery, coolant, oil and oil filter). This part is a perfect fit. It’s made of near same quantity or better as the one I removed. For experienced mechanics, I don’t see this taking longer than 15-20 minutes, It’s a pretty straight forward process and easy to do yourself (but as I said caution, if you don’t like/won’t do your own repairs, a Chevy Cruze is not for you, I saved myself about 1.5-3k in labor by doing it all myself). (THIS IS WHERE THAT CAUTION KICKS IN) I bought a 262 pc mechanic tool set along side some other tools and I gave myself an hour to do the change. It only took the full hour long to ensure there was no remaking gasket gunk on the metal bit that this goes on to. It performs as intended and it’s been about a week since I installed it and still no issues. It looks good and seemed of quality material. (This is my opinion do not take it as scripture) I followed the process near perfectly (mixed up screws 12 and 13) there has been no leakage or spills of any kind. I believe with study and confidence anyone can service their own vehicle. I did this on the fly and with no previous mechanic experience aside from doing my own oil change.

Perfect fit and works great. So far the seal is still intact.

So far so good 430 miles on 2016 Chevy Cruze LT (late 2015). Tough durable material quality made, stronger diaphragm. Be sure to check gasket and push in any areas lifted before install. Also look to see gasket flush once in. Add gasket sealant in 2 areas at timing chain ends, tight to 71 inch pounds 1/4 rachet & Esocket 10mm. Plenty of videos on YouTube for installation. Places in perfectly bolts in aligned. So if you get p0171 and other codes P015B, P0300 and stabilitrak etc. This will fix. I did not hear loud hissing or suction on diaphragm (a pinhole will cause appears they go out at 70k miles). The pcv hose was bad, replaced still rough idle but put in this VC and runs perfectly.

Seems ok, arrived as described

Fit perfectly, well made, nice packaging, fixed the problem, 2012 Chevy Cruze LT 14L Turbo.

I thought the part was a great price, however it was poor quality and I ended up having to replace it, the gasket and other issues caused by the quality. What cost me 80.00 ended up causing issues to the tune of $1800. Lesson learned you literally get what you pay for.

Saw this on a video, part number was correct. The attached gasket was very secure. This cost over $100 at a chain auto parts store, exactly the same thing. This cured my oil leak problem and was not difficult to replace. 100% satisfied with this!

There was a time a few years ago that I didn't really think that much of Dorman automotive products. I saw them as a cheap budget alternative to superior OEM parts. And I don't think Dorman has really changed much...but the quality of OEM parts for a lot of manufacturers has fallen to such a great extent that Dorman now matches OEM quality and sometimes exceeds it. That's the case for this valve cover. As is the way with nearly every GM 1.4 L turbo, the intake manifold blew that little check valve and in turn blew out the valve cover's integrated PCV diaphram on my girlfriend's Buick Encore. Everywhere I looked online said Dorman replacements were the way to go for this problem- so I bought the Dorman intake manifold from another seller, and got the valve cover/pcv from here. Installed it all over the course of a couple hours and had zero problems with fit or installation. Its been over 10k miles since I did the fix and there are no signs of leaks or cracks or any other problems with these Dorman replacements. Everything's still working great.

El producto es el adecuado para mi automóvil, lo instalé y está funcionando adecuadamente. Saludos.

2015 Buick Encore. Perfect fit for replacement of the OEM cover. Replaced in combination with the intake manifold. It's been over a month, no errors and no oil loss.

Great rocker cover, looks and fits near identical to $600 genuine Holden/GM part.

Excellent. Did the trick and fixed a long-term issue that my vehicle had, probably from the factory. Pleased and even 3 years later it’s still holding up no more oil spitting out or smoke coming from the engine. Big thank you!

Le couvert de valve fit parfaitement pour moi par contre le bouchon mon bouchon original n'est plus étanche..je vais donc devoir trouver un autre bouchon car il n'est pas fourni avec le couvert. Ps: viens avec le joint d'étanchéité, super Chevrolet cruze 2012 1.4 Eco
