Trusted by operators in more than 60 countries, the Shacman WP12 Cylinder Head Cover Assembly is a global benchmark for heavy‑duty valve cover reliability. Its proven design and robust construction make it a cornerstone of modern commercial vehicle powertrains.
The cylinder head cover is precision‑die‑cast from high‑strength aluminum alloy, featuring integrated oil baffles that effectively separate oil mist from crankcase gases, reducing oil consumption and keeping the PCV system clean. The cover’s ribbed design enhances rigidity and heat dissipation.
The integrated gasket is manufactured from high‑temperature fluoroelastomer (FKM) with a steel carrier, offering exceptional resistance to engine oil, coolant, and temperatures up to 200°C. Its multi‑rib profile ensures conformability to minor surface imperfections, maintaining a leak‑tight seal even after many thermal cycles.
The oil filler cover assembly includes a quarter‑turn or screw‑type cap with a built‑in O‑ring, providing a secure seal for the oil fill port. The cap is designed for easy, tool‑free operation, and its integrated breather allows controlled crankcase ventilation, reducing internal pressure and preventing oil leaks.
All fastening points are reinforced with steel inserts to prevent thread stripping and ensure consistent bolt torque. The assembly is supplied with all necessary mounting hardware, including high‑strength flange bolts and wave spring washers, simplifying installation and guaranteeing reliable clamping force.
The cover assembly is factory‑tested for sealing integrity and is ready for installation out of the box. Its pre‑assembled design reduces labor time and eliminates the risk of misassembly, making it the ideal choice for both professional workshops and mobile service operations.
Oil Filler Cover Assembly — A complete, pre‑assembled oil fill cap unit that seals the oil filler neck on the cylinder head cover. This assembly consists of a durable plastic or metal cap with an integrated O‑ring seal, a breather port, and a lock mechanism (quarter‑turn or screw‑type). The cap is designed for easy, tool‑free operation, allowing quick access for oil top‑ups while maintaining a pressure‑tight seal. The breather port is calibrated to allow controlled crankcase ventilation, preventing excessive pressure buildup that could lead to gasket leaks. The O‑ring is made of high‑temperature FKM, ensuring long‑term sealing performance even under extreme heat and oil exposure. The cap’s grip surface is textured for secure handling, even with oily hands. This assembly is critical for maintaining oil cleanliness and preventing contamination, as well as ensuring proper crankcase pressure regulation. It is supplied as a complete unit, eliminating the need for separate seal or breather purchases, and is designed to match the original factory fitment for a perfect seal.
Cylinder Head Cover — The main structural component that encloses the valve train and upper cylinder head area, providing a rigid, oil‑tight enclosure. Manufactured from high‑strength die‑cast aluminum with a corrosion‑resistant coating, this cover features precision‑machined sealing surfaces that interface with the gasket. It incorporates integrated oil baffles to separate oil mist from crankcase gases, reducing oil carryover into the PCV system. The cover also includes reinforced bolt bosses with steel inserts to prevent thread stripping and ensure consistent clamp load. Its internal ribbing adds rigidity, preventing warping under thermal stress. The cover is designed to accommodate the oil filler neck, PCV valve, and breather connections, making it a central component of the engine’s ventilation system. Its surface is heat‑dissipating, aiding in cooling the valve train. This cover is precision‑cast and machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit with the cylinder head and the gasket, thus providing a durable, leak‑free seal that lasts the lifetime of the engine under normal operating conditions.
