Dorman Engine Valve Cover 264-938
Product description
Quick overview
If your repair calls for a replacement cover and its related sealing parts, this Dorman passenger-side engine valve cover kit takes a more complete approach than replacing the cover alone. It is intended for select vehicles and is designed to match the fit and function of the original equipment on those specified applications.
The kit includes the valve cover for the right, or firewall, side of the engine, plus a gasket, spark plug tube seals and factory-style captive hardware. Those included parts make it relevant when a cover is warped or damaged and the associated seals need attention as part of the repair.
How to use it
This is a replacement engine part, not a general-purpose cover. Its role is to help protect engine components and prevent oil leaks when fitted to a vehicle it is specified for. For example, if a repair has identified a damaged cover on the firewall side, the included gasket and tube seals give the replacement job more than just the main cover to work with.
Fitment is the key decision. The product name says “select models,” so the part number alone does not establish that it suits every vehicle. Enter your vehicle’s make, model and trim in the fitment tool before ordering, and compare the result with the side of the engine being repaired.
Practical tips
Keep in mind that “passenger side” is not enough to confirm fit: the description identifies the location as the right or firewall side, but does not list specific vehicle applications here. Check the vehicle-specific result rather than assuming that a similar engine or model year uses the same cover.
The bundled gasket, spark plug tube seals and captive hardware are useful when the repair calls for those components alongside the cover. If you only need a seal, or the diagnosis does not call for replacing the cover itself, a narrower replacement part may be a better match. The listing does not provide installation steps, dimensions or material details, so those should not be assumed from the product name.
Buying questions
Which side of the engine does this cover fit? It is identified for the right, or firewall, side. Confirm that this matches the location required for your vehicle’s repair.
What comes in the kit? The listed components are the valve cover, gasket, spark plug tube seals and factory-style captive hardware.
How can I check whether it fits my vehicle? Use the fitment tool with your make, model and trim. The listing describes compatibility with specified vehicles, not every vehicle that may appear similar.
In your case
It may suit you if a confirmed repair requires a passenger-side cover and you want the listed gasket, tube seals and hardware included together. It may not be the best choice if you have not confirmed the vehicle fitment, need the opposite-side cover, or are looking only for an individual seal. Based on the listing, the strongest reason to choose this kit is its location-specific set of replacement parts, the main point to settle first is exact application compatibility.
