Review: 2011 Cruze 1.4 T - Perfect install for my 2011 Cruze. I was experiencing an oil leak from the valve cover. This OEM part worked just as expected. You will need some RTV also for the timing cover seams. Use the recommended torque (71 inch pounds) and sequence to ensure OEM performance. If your valve cover is leaking, look into the issue with the check valve failing in the intake manifold that causes an over pressurization of the crank case, leading to diaphragm and seal failure in this part. You may well also need to replace the intake manifold, or use the cruzekits.com aftermarket kit. Review: Fits perfectly as it should - Excellent factory part for a great part. The sad thing is, if others replaced this part because the pressure regulating valve on top of the cover failed (made a whistling sound along with a rough idle) like mine did, you need to repair the root of the problem or you'll be replacing this cover again. The problem is the failure of the wimpy orange colored, small rubber PCV valve inside of the intake manifold. What you need to do is remove the hard corrugated/ribbed line that connects to the top of the intake manifold and shine a flashlight thru the opening on the intake. You should see the orange PCV valve. You may have to spray a little carb cleaner in there just in case the valve is coated with oil. After that, if you don't see it, that is what cause the pressure regulating valve to fail. Mine was missing and this is the second time I've replaced the cover. You have 2 options. 1) replace the intake manifold and deal with the PCV valve eventually failing again, which it is guaranteed to do due to the poor design or 2) Google "Chevy Cruze 1.4 liter turbo PCV valve repair kit" and purchase and install it, which is pretty simple. It took me about 3.5 hours to complete. With this kit you'll be able to bypass the crappy factory PCV valve design and more than likely never have to replace the cover again. Also you can search the same thing on YouTube and there you'll find the video that will explain this issue much better. How this helps some. ## Features - Sonic.

How this helps some. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works exactly like video showed *by G***Y on August 18, 2019* Saw a video on YouTube on replacing this, had the all too common vacuum leak (3rd on on my 2012 Cruze!), 1st 2 were covered by standard / extended warranties, now I'm on my own. Low cost compared to OEM, bolts and gasket were both included and installed - just 2 smudges of sealer according to video, and the unit fit like a glove - one of the easiest repairs I've ever done! This part is worth the OEM price for the fit and included parts, at this price it's a great deal! ## Frequently Bought Together - Genuine General Motors 55573746 - Camshaft Cover (Replaced by Part: 25198874) - GM Parts 25193343 Positive Crank Ventilation (PCV) Valve Pipe with Bypass Valve Tube - GM Genuine Parts 25200449 Intake Manifold --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/33033618-genuine-general-motors-55573746-camshaft-cover-replaced-by-part-25198874](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/33033618-genuine-general-motors-55573746-camshaft-cover-replaced-by-part-25198874) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
