★ Replacement valve cover for the robust Dodge 6-cylinder T214 engine. Essential component for correct engine sealing.

Installation notes

Always fit with a new valve cover gasket. Tighten the mounting bolts evenly following a cross pattern to prevent warping. Avoid overtightening — the cover may distort. Do not use high torque settings; tightening 'by feel' is the rule with this thin steel cover.

Historical context

The Dodge T214 engines were produced in large numbers during the Second World War and were reliable powertrains for the three-quarter-ton 4x4 and six-wheelers of the WC series.
