The camshaft cover is manufactured from molded plastic. The cover is secured to the cylinder head with four bolts and ten studs, washers and nuts.

The cover provides the location for the VCT (variable camshaft timing) solenoid valves and also the CMP (camshaft position) sensors.

Threaded inserts in the molding allow for the attachment of brackets for the air intake duct to the turbocharger and also for the attachment of the engine cover, ignition coils, CMP sensors and VCT solenoid valves.

A groove in the outer edge of the cover provides the location for the cover re-usable rubber sealing gasket. Three separate sections of the seal, located in the center of the cover engine, prevent oil leaking into the into the area around the coils and spark plug caps.
