Went to go for a drive on Sunday afternoon & when started the vehicle it went Boom & checked under hood & the plastic valve cover had cracked & come apart. Cannot see anything wrong beyond destroyed valve cover. Never seen anything like this before. Apx. 230,000 on vehicle. Apx. 20,000 on rebuilt engine.

Remove the valve cover

See if a rocker arm/ push rod came loose and smacked the valve cover.

Return with news!
