A Jake brake valve cover spacer is a component used in engine systems to provide additional clearance for install of a Jake Brake valve cover. A Jake Brake, also known as an engine compression brake, is a device used to assist in the deceleration of a vehicle by increasing the engine's braking effect. The valve cover spacer is made of durable materials such as aluminum and is designed to fit between the engine block and the valve cover. It effectively raises the height of the valve cover, creating the necessary space to accommodate the Jake Brake valve cover.
Attributes:
It provides a secure attachment point for the valve cover, ensuring it remains in place during engine operation.
It allows for the proper sealing of the valve cover to prevent oil leaks and maintain engine performance.
Applications:
A Jake brake valve cover spacer enhances braking performance and control on steep grades or during heavy loads.
