I jsut got my valve cover replaced on my car what does that do?
Usually only the valve cover gasket needs to be replaced (unless you somehow damaged the valve cover itself). It does just what it says. It is the metal(2) located on the top of you engine that covers the valves. It needs to be replaced when the seals are allowing oil to come out.
it keeps the oil from flying out and also keeps dirt out of your engine.
it covers up the valves to keep the oil in the engine
It just covers up ur valves. Keeps them from getting damaged by other moving parts. And you could say that it keeps most of the oil in it so that the valves can be lubricated. Valves are moving parts so yes they do need oil to help reduce heat and wear!
