The 201V96210-0080 Mc 13 valve cover bolts (set of 10) are genuine SINOTRUK HOWO components engineered to securely fasten the valve cover to the cylinder head, ensuring a leak‑proof seal and precise clamping force. As a critical element of the trusted Sinotruk howo parts family, these bolts are manufactured from high‑strength alloy steel with a corrosion‑resistant finish, providing reliable performance under extreme thermal and mechanical loads. The 201V96210-0080 set includes ten bolts with precision‑rolled threads and hardened washers, ensuring uniform tension distribution and preventing oil leaks. Investing in this authentic component guarantees your MC13 engine maintains proper valve train lubrication and long‑term durability in mining, construction, and long‑haul applications.

The 201V96210-0080 bolts are forged from high‑tensile alloy steel (grade 10.9) and heat‑treated to achieve a tensile strength of over 1000 MPa. This ensures they can withstand the high clamping forces and thermal expansion cycles of the MC13 engine without yielding or loosening. The threads are precision‑rolled rather than cut, which work‑hardens the surface and provides a smoother, more accurate profile for consistent torque readings and reduced friction.
Each bolt in the 201V96210-0080 set is zinc‑plated and yellow‑passivated to provide excellent corrosion resistance against oil, coolant, and road salt. The integrated hardened washer face distributes load evenly, preventing galling and damage to the valve cover flange. Every bolt is 100% inspected for dimensional accuracy, thread pitch, and head integrity. This meticulous quality control guarantees reliable sealing and long‑term durability.

The 201V96210-0080 valve cover bolt set is a direct OEM replacement for the MC13 engine used in Howo T7H and C7H heavy‑duty trucks. It secures the valve cover to the cylinder head, maintaining a critical seal that prevents oil leaks and keeps contaminants out of the valvetrain. Proper bolt tension is essential for the longevity of the valve cover gasket and the overall integrity of the top end. These bolts are also compatible with MC11 and certain WD615 engines that share the same thread specifications.
In heavy‑duty applications, the engine undergoes constant thermal cycling and vibration. The genuine 201V96210-0080 bolts are designed to maintain their clamping force under these conditions, preventing loosening and oil seepage. Using these authentic bolts during valve cover replacement ensures that the gasket seats correctly and that the cover is not warped by uneven torque. They are essential for maintaining engine cleanliness and preventing oil contamination of the exhaust system.
When installing new valve cover bolts, always use a torque wrench and follow the specified tightening sequence (usually from the center outward). Replace all ten bolts as a set to ensure uniform clamping force.
Correct installation of the 201V96210-0080 bolts is critical to ensure a leak‑free seal and long service life. Follow these steps:
Clean the valve cover and cylinder head mating surfaces thoroughly. Remove all old gasket material. Ensure the threaded holes are clean and free of oil.
Position a new valve cover gasket. Place the valve cover and insert the ten new bolts. Tighten gradually in the sequence specified in the service manual to the recommended torque (typically 25 Nm followed by an additional 90° turn).
After installation, run the engine and check for oil leaks around the valve cover. Re‑torque if necessary after a heat cycle (per manufacturer recommendation).
Valve cover bolts should be replaced whenever the valve cover is removed for gasket replacement or engine repairs. Common signs that replacement is needed include:
If any of these symptoms are observed, immediate replacement with a genuine 201V96210-0080 bolt set is recommended. Reusing old bolts can lead to improper clamping force and subsequent oil leaks.
High‑strength material and precise thread geometry ensure consistent clamp load, preventing gasket failure and oil leaks.
The zinc‑plated finish protects against rust and chemical attack, ensuring bolts can be removed easily even after years of service.
Manufactured to OEM specifications, these bolts match the exact thread length, head size, and hardness required for the MC13 engine.
To maximize the service life of your 201V96210-0080 valve cover bolts, follow these best practices:
By adhering to these guidelines, you ensure that the 201V96210-0080 bolts perform optimally throughout their intended service interval.
Aftermarket valve cover bolts are often made from lower‑grade steel with inconsistent heat treatment, leading to thread stripping, bolt stretching, or even fracture. The genuine 201V96210-0080 bolts are manufactured to the exact specifications of the original equipment, using certified alloy steel and precision thread rolling. Each bolt is tested for tensile strength and hardness, guaranteeing that it will perform exactly as the original part.
By choosing authentic SINOTRUK HOWO parts, you protect your investment and ensure your engine remains leak‑free and reliable. The Sinotruk howo parts catalog includes a full range of engine fasteners and components engineered for maximum durability. For fleet managers and owner‑operators who demand the best, the genuine 201V96210-0080 is the only responsible choice.
The 201V96210-0080 valve cover bolt set is used across a wide range of Howo models: T7H, C7H, A7, and classic Howo‑7 series equipped with MC13, MC11, and some WD615 engines. Always verify the thread size (M8x1.25) and bolt length using the service manual.
Each 201V96210-0080 set is individually packaged in a sealed plastic bag with a label indicating the OEM number and quantity. The package includes ten bolts. For bulk orders, sets are supplied in cartons with batch traceability.
Production of the 201V96210-0080 takes place in IATF 16949 certified facilities, using cold forging and thread rolling with in‑process gauging. Statistical process control ensures that dimensional variations are kept to a minimum. Every batch is accompanied by a material certificate and hardness test report, guaranteeing that the bolts delivered are identical to those fitted on new Howo trucks at the factory.
