A valve cover fits over the third opening. A cap fits over a valve cover opening. In embodiments, a valve cover includes a body with a second sealing surface protruding from a first sealing surface, both around an opening of the body. A cap has a third sealing surface to mate with the first sealing surface, and a fourth sealing surface congruent to the second sealing surface.
