This rubber/elastomer grommet fits onto the valve cover fasteners. Its primary roles are to:
Seal: Prevent engine oil and oil vapors from leaking past the valve cover bolts/fasteners.
Isolate: Prevent metal-on-metal contact between the fastening hardware and the valve cover, which dampens engine vibrations and reduces stress on the cover components.
