FAQ

Q1: Will this valve cover fit my Cummins QSB6.7 engine?
A: This valve cover (part number 8-98023-526-0) is specifically designed for the Cummins QSB6.7 diesel engine. It is a direct replacement for the OEM component. However, we recommend verifying your existing part number, as some engine sub-variants or Tier level configurations may have slight differences in mounting points or breather ports. Please check your current valve cover for the stamped part number.

Q2: What is included in the package? Is the gasket included?
A: The package includes the valve cover assembly itself (plastic bag, box, and carton packaging). The gasket is typically sold separately unless specified otherwise. For a complete installation, we recommend ordering a new valve cover gasket (e.g., Cummins part number 3972694) and sealant to ensure a leak-free fit. Please confirm with our sales team if you require a gasket kit.

Q3: How should I maintain this valve cover after installation?
A: After installation, ensure proper torque of the valve cover bolts to manufacturer specifications (typically 24 Nm / 18 lb-ft for QSB6.7). Periodically inspect the cover for signs of oil leaks, especially around the bolt holes and perimeter seal. The cover itself requires no routine maintenance, but the gasket should be replaced if any oil weeping is observed. Avoid overtightening bolts, as this can warp the cover and cause leaks.
