What This Part Does
The valve cover diaphragm regulates crankcase pressure and controls the flow of blow-by gases and oil vapor through the PCV system. When the original membrane becomes worn, hardened or torn, the ventilation system may lose proper pressure control.
Replacing the failed diaphragm helps restore crankcase ventilation function, reduce oil vapor issues and support stable engine operation on compatible N13, N16 and N18 applications.
