Engine Cam Cover Gasket Set Cylinder 1-3 and 4-6. Porsche 970 Panamera 3.6ltr  ❭  94610593635KIT

Porsche 970.1 / 970.2 Panamera 3.6 V6 Cam Cover Gasket Set

The cam cover gasket set for the Porsche 970.1 / 970.2 Panamera 3.6 V6 provides essential sealing between engine components to prevent oil leaks and maintain engine performance. This complete gasket kit includes:

• Cam cover gasket x 2 – Creates a reliable seal between the cam (valve) cover and the cylinder head, preventing oil from escaping the top of the engine.
• Spark plug tube seals x 6 – Seal the wells around the spark plugs, keeping oil out of spark plug areas to ensure consistent ignition and combustion.
• Throttle control element seal x 2 – Provides a secure seal for the throttle control assembly and prevents oil contamination or vacuum leaks.
  
  

Fits:

• Porsche 970.1 Panamera V6 3.6L 2WD 2009-13
• Porsche 970.1 Panamera 4 V6 3.6L 4WD 2009-13
• Porsche 970.2 Panamera V6 3.6L 2WD (310Hp) 2014-16
• Porsche 970.2 Panamera 4 V6 3.6L 4WD (310Hp) 2014-16

Together, these seals protect the engine from oil leakage and maintain proper internal pressure, contributing to smooth and dependable Panamera V6 operation.

Why These Seals Fail

Engine seals like cam cover gaskets and spark plug tube seals are subjected to high temperatures, repeated thermal expansion and long-term pressure. Over time, these conditions can cause:

• Hardening and cracking from prolonged heat exposure
• Deformation and compression set from repeated cycling
• Oil breakdown that accelerates material fatigue
• Loss of sealing effectiveness after high mileage or extended service intervals

On the Porsche Panamera 970.1/970.2 3.6 V6, these faults are common as the engine ages and accumulates mileage.

Why You May Need a Replacement

If your Panamera displays signs of oil pooling around the top of the engine, dark residue around the cam cover seams, or misfires caused by oil in the spark plug wells, worn seals are likely the cause.

Oil intrusion into spark plug wells can lead to:

• Fouled spark plugs
• Poor engine performance and rough idle
• Reduced fuel efficiency
• Increased maintenance costs

Replacing the cam cover gasket set restores proper sealing and prevents secondary issues such as spark plug misfires, throttle issues, and premature ignition system wear.

Many owners choose to replace the gasket set during routine maintenance, such as spark plug or ignition coil service, to streamline labour and avoid repeated engine access later.
