Porsche 957/958 Cayenne & 970 Panamera V8 Cam Cover Gasket Set - Cylinder 5-8

The cam cover gasket set is a comprehensive engine sealing kit designed to protect key areas of the cylinder head from oil leaks.
This set includes:

• Cam cover gasket – Seals the connection between the cam (valve) cover and the cylinder head to prevent oil seeping out.
  
• Spark plug tube seals x 4 – Seal each spark plug well to keep engine oil out of the plug wells and ensure consistent ignition performance.
  
• Throttle control element seal – Provides a reliable seal around the throttle control interface to prevent vacuum and oil leaks.

These components work together to keep your V8 engine sealed, clean and running efficiently.

Why These Seals Fail

Cam cover gaskets and associated seals are exposed to heat cycles, oil pressure and engine vibration throughout their life. Over time, this can cause:

• Hardening and cracking due to prolonged heat exposure
• Compression set or material breakdown with age and mileage
• Oil contamination that accelerates seal wear
• Loss of flexibility leading to poor sealing surfaces

On high-mile Porsche Cayenne and Panamera V8 engines, this degradation often results in leaking oil around the cam covers and into the spark plug wells.

Why You May Need a Replacement Set

If your Porsche 957/958 Cayenne V8 or 970.1/970.2 Panamera V8 shows signs of oil seepage, poor idle, misfires or fouled spark plugs, worn cam cover gaskets and spark plug tube seals are a common cause.

Oil leaks can lead to:

• Engine bay oil accumulation
• Burning smells or smoke under load
• Spark plug fouling and ignition misfires
• Reduced engine efficiency and increased maintenance costs

Replacing the complete gasket set restores proper sealing, helps maintain engine performance and prevents secondary issues caused by oil intrusion.

Owners often replace the cam cover gasket set during routine maintenance or when performing spark plug or ignition coil service to save time and avoid repeat labour.
