Replacement of valve cover gasket VAZ 2114 8 valves

How to change the valve cover gasket on a VAZ 2114: when is it necessary and how to do it

Any car enthusiast makes sure that his car is in perfect condition. If there are any problems with transport, they must be resolved promptly. So, if you see that there is a leak between the valve cover and the engine block, then you should suspect that the cover gasket is leaky.

Such an element does not have a global function in the operation of the system. But if problems arise with the gasket, then you should not turn a blind eye to them, despite the fact that the motor will work properly.

The faulty part must be replaced, otherwise oil will leak from under it. This point can cause a number of problems. So the valve cover gasket of a VAZ 2114 can be replaced independently without the involvement of specialists. Some craftsmen are of the opinion that the gasket needs to be changed every time the cover is removed. This point must be taken into account when carrying out various works.

What do you need to know about the motor?

Before the valve cover of the VAZ 2114 is removed and the gasket is replaced, it is worth talking about the features of the engine. If you don’t know anything about design features, then the best solution would be to turn to specialists. Remember that to carry out such work you will need a certain tool.

In particular, a car enthusiast needs to have on hand the following details:

• ratchet with extension;
• head at 10;
• screwdriver with Phillips head.

Valve cover gasket replacement process

Before moving directly to the process, you need to know some structural elements of the VAZ-2114 engine.

The valve cover gasket is located directly under the cover itself and this can be clearly seen in the diagram below.

So, first, let's look at what the engine consists of:

So, in order to replace the valve cover gasket on a car, you will need certain tools. What exactly is needed? Let's consider this question: a ratchet with an extension, a 10-mm socket, a screwdriver with a Phillips head.

Now that everything is ready, we buy a new gasket from the list recommended below and we can get to work.

Don't forget about the new sealant.

Let's consider the sequential stage of performing replacement operations:

Loosen the clamps and remove the hoses shown below.

Gasket selection

The choice of gasket must be approached carefully. Thus, a low-quality rubber product must have good chemical and technical-physical properties. So, let's consider possible options for purchasing a valve cover gasket for a VAZ-2114.

Original (item)

Original valve cover gasket produced by AvtoVAZ

2108-1003270 – original catalog number of the valve cover gasket manufactured by AvtoVAZ. It fits perfectly with the landing mounts and does not require any modifications. The average cost is 300 rubles.

Analogues (manufacturers)

Valve cover gasket made by Goetze

Of course, the manufacturer and many automotive experts recommend installing the original valve cover gasket, but, as practice shows, substitutes are often of higher quality and have a much longer service life.

So, let's look at which analogues of the original part are recommended for installation on a car:

As you can see, the cost of alternative gaskets is quite high, but as practice has shown, the service life of the parts is twice as long as the original.

Reasons for gasket failure

When all the processes have been sorted out and the choice of valve cover gasket has been decided, it is necessary to consider the reasons for the failure of this element:

• Wear . Perhaps the most common reason is that during use this element tends to crack because it is constantly exposed to hot oil.
• Stretching . Constantly high temperature negatively affects the rubber product, which loses its physical properties and stretches, which entails a loose connection and the passage of lubricant.
• Oil streams . Occurs due to gasket breakdown. This usually happens after the engine overheats severely.

Consequences of untimely replacement

Dirty valve cover and filter elements

There are not many consequences, but they are quite compelling to change the gasket in time. Firstly, this is directly related to oil leakage, which reduces the volume in the engine. Even if the loss is insignificant, it may just be enough for the internal parts of the power unit to wear out faster.

Secondly, air constantly gets under the valve cover, which can affect the quality of the air-fuel mixture and the engine will begin to “eat” a sufficient amount of fuel.

Thirdly, dirt and foreign objects, as well as water during winter and rainy periods, can enter through the resulting cracks. This can negatively affect the operation of the power unit, cylinder head and other elements, as well as affect the performance of the entire system as a whole.

Fourthly, leaked oil contaminates the outer part of the block, onto which dirt clings. It can also affect the operation of the power unit and other elements.

Why do you need a gasket?

It is clear that without such a gasket the car will work as before. But you need to understand that it plays a certain role, even if it does not affect the technical features of the car. It is important that when a leak occurs, a number of serious problems can arise.

The gasket has a certain service life. It must be promptly replaced as it wears out.

If we consider the main task of this part, then it is worth saying that it is to ensure the tightness of the connection. In order for the connection between the valve cover and the engine part to be tight, a gasket is needed. You don’t need any special skills to find the cap, because it has a neck for filling engine oil.

When should the gasket be replaced and how should it be done?

The process of replacing this part is not an expensive pleasure, since in itself it is small and practically insignificant in the operation of the entire car, compared to other parts.

If the vehicle is used regularly, such replacement should be done often.

The situations in which replacement should be made are as follows:

• engine overhaul;
• the appearance of drops between the head and the lid;
• maintenance.

Many professional motorists reduce all three situations in which replacement should be made to one simple rule - the gasket must be changed along with the oil, after 25 thousand kilometers. If you follow this simple practical advice, you can eliminate possible leaks and any other possible risks.

However, the process of replacing the gasket itself is not quick and requires preliminary preparation. It consists of purchasing a sealant and, of course, the gasket itself. We will also need a product to degrease the surfaces we need.

Inexperienced drivers who perform this operation for the first time may encounter the problem that after replacing the gasket, the oil begins to flow even more. The reason for this may be poor-quality sealant, skewed bolts and nuts, or a low-quality gasket where the composition of rubber and impurities is compromised.

When to replace?

It is worth figuring out exactly when it is necessary to replace the valve cover gasket on a VAZ 2114. The plant tries to use only high-quality gaskets, which is why the initial part lasts for a long time. After a certain period of time, parts lose their elasticity and may harden. This is why cracks and leaks can form.

Even a small leak can cause dirt and dust to enter the motor. Many car enthusiasts change the part when changing the oil. This is an excellent solution to the problem, as leaks can be completely eliminated.

Cases when it is worth replacing include:

1. We noticed a clear oil leak at the junction.
2. The motor is undergoing routine repairs, in which case a replacement can be performed.
3. Carrying out technical inspection.
4. Removing the cover.

How to replace?

Domestic cars are not perfect; over time, you may notice that oil is leaking from under the gasket. In this case, it is simply necessary to make a replacement. Of course, you can try to tighten the bolts more tightly, but this is unlikely to help solve the problem. If you are wondering how to change the valve cover gasket on a VAZ 2114, then you should proceed sequentially. Anyone can cope with such a task as replacing the valve cover gasket 2114.

The sequence of your actions should be as follows:

1. First you need to loosen the clamps and disconnect the hoses.
2. The next step is to remove the locking plate and remove the end of the cable.
3. You will need to unscrew the bolts that allow you to tighten the cable bracket.
4. You will see two nuts that will also need to be unscrewed and removed, as well as the rubber bands that are used for the seal.
5. The valve cover can be removed.
6. The old part is removed and the new one is installed.

When the cover is removed, it is worth cleaning the oil separator screens. This manipulation can be done by unscrewing the bolt and removing the cover.

What's the result?

Taking into account the above information, as well as the characteristics of the engine lubrication system, it is necessary to follow several basic rules to extend the life of the gaskets and prevent oil leaks.

First of all, the engine oil and oil filter must be changed in a timely manner, without exceeding the service interval. The engine should only be filled with oils that are recommended by the engine manufacturer and are a high-quality product. In this case, it is important to take into account not only the basic parameters, but also the viscosity, as well as individual operating conditions (seasonality, engine operating modes, loads, etc.)

In the process of selecting gaskets, it is necessary to purchase high-quality products, as well as follow installation recommendations (placement of the gasket, tightening torque of the valve cover bolts). If a sealant is used, you must also adhere to the recommended application technology.

During scheduled maintenance, attention should be paid to the condition and performance of the crankcase ventilation system. Periodic cleaning allows you to avoid possible problems that lead to an increase in pressure inside the internal combustion engine.

The replacement process is considered quite simple, but you need to understand that it is not always possible to carry out the work smoothly.

That is why when carrying out work you should follow simple tips that will help you avoid mistakes:

1. When removing the lid, you should wash it in turpentine.
2. The optimal solution would be to use high-quality gaskets.
3. All parts used must be clean; when carrying out work, experts advise wiping the edges of parts to remove any existing oil.
4. During installation, you can use a sealant; it is applied to the joints.
5. After the replacement is completed, you need to check the oil level.
6. To check the system, you need to start the car; carry out a second inspection after making the first trip.
7. The groove under the gasket should be cleaned as thoroughly as possible.

Valve cover VAZ 2114 8 valves device

If you follow my blog, you know that I recently changed the oil dipstick. Everything would be fine, but after a short trip, looking under the hood, I discovered that the dipstick was not seated tightly, as if it had been squeezed out of the mounting hole.

Having pulled out the dipstick with the car running, I felt that there was a decent amount of air blowing from there. In principle, as far as I know, it should blow in any case, but there is a limit to everything. Upon closer inspection, the dipstick also turned out to be of poor quality (crooked, rubber too soft). I bought another dipstick in the store (it has stronger rubber and harder metal), it fit tightly and was no longer squeezed out. By the way, the new probe turned out to be a little shorter than the standard and low-quality probe, this one made by AVTOVAZ (so they said in a large store and the marking was appropriate).

Despite the fact that the new dipstick fit tightly, I decided for myself that it was time to clean the crankcase ventilation system and change the corresponding hoses.

So, I bought three hoses produced by BRT (BalakovoRezinaTekhnika): 1. A large thick one that goes directly from the crankcase to the valve cover; 2. A thinner hose that goes from the corrugation of the air filter housing to the valve cover (during disassembly it turned out that the old one was torn and there was air leakage through it); 3. The thinnest hose that goes from the valve cover to the throttle body. In addition, the original clamps, which, like the hoses, were 10 years old, were replaced with Norma clamps.

I bought oil separator screens (whose production I didn’t catch, and it doesn’t matter). I didn't want to clean the old ones.

Due to the fact that replacing the oil separator screens involves removing the valve cover, we purchased fungi (two rubber bushings for the valve cover nuts BRT) and a valve cover gasket (VCT).

The whole event went off without incident. Approximate order: 1. remove three crankcase ventilation hoses (which ones were described above); 2. remove the throttle cable bracket (two bolts), turn it towards the air filter; 3. Unscrew the valve cover nuts and remove the valve cover.

The problem was that oil was being pressed out from under the valve cover, and the oil separator screen and valve cover were also possibly clogged. Oil was also leaking from under the oil filler cap. I went and purchased consumables for the so-called maintenance.

Answers to questions: 1) I won’t take anything apart! 2) I’m not worried that the mesh will fall apart! (since there is no reason for it to fall apart) 3) after winter I’ll open it up and post a photo report.
