🔍 Key Concepts

• Locate the cylinder head area at the very top of the engine where the valves and rocker arms are housed. • Identify the protective cover that sits above the valve gear/rocker arms, sometimes called the top deck or valve cover. • Compare the letter and number labels near the top of each cylinder to see which one is pointing to the outermost cover, not to internal parts.

💭 Think About

• Looking at the very top of each cylinder, which label arrow points to the large external housing that could be unbolted to access the rocker arms and valves? • Which labels near the top are clearly pointing inside to springs, pushrods, or rocker arms (and therefore are NOT the cover itself)? • Between the lettered options and numbered options, which one is actually on the engine’s outside surface rather than on a shaft, spring, or port?:

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure the label you pick points to the outer shell/cover at the top of the cylinder, not to an internal moving part. • Confirm that the shape under the label looks like a single removable cover bolted to the top of the head. • Double‑check that your choice is at the highest part of the engine cylinder on one of the banks, where you would expect a valve cover to be.
