Burning rubber smell & smoke

bluethunder · 05-02-2013, 02:16 AM

Hi All,

Sometimes when I start my car(from cold) I get a burnt rubber smell & some smoke in the cabin(goes away within 1 minute). I've done a search on this forum and it's probably the valve cover gasket.

Anyone had their valve cover gasket repaired and can recommend a place on Kowloon side? How much I should expect to pay?

Thanks!

Valve gasket would not cost much than labor, it's about few hundred bucks for parts and recomend to replace new o-ring at the same time.
