Amazon Valve Cover for N54 BMW's (Install + Review!)

[@BimmerMafia]

Lol. Yes it’s worth it. I installed one few months ago. Stopped my leak . Did the job.

[@Tl2004ever]

Just replaced mine 2 weeks ago with an Aluminum Cover. I wanted that peace of mind.

[@206moneymakin]

Do you have a reccomend for a cover

[@Nico_335i_DCT]

Great job Chris. And the Victor Reinz gaskets are great indeed. Better than the Elring btw. Wow, already on index 12 injectors. You're a lucky one. Nowadays that's $3000!!!! Have a great weekend. Dutch regards, Nico.

I dont know how you feel about spark plugs, but I personally use the NGK one step colder and put the gap at .20 . You can do .22 like oem but personally it has a very slight difference in idle and power in my opinion.

[@hunteroftruth4986]

I'd be hand starting those new plugs!

[@brynmza]

Would you recommend aluminum?

[@kingrob64]

I need that light

[@1VETaLEK2]

My experience, the cover is cheaper plastic and will warp over time... And leak no matter what... So don't throw out the oem!

[@iamurnamann8662]

What kind of superglue did you use and where did you apply the glue? I’m having a hard time keeping my gasket on as I put o the cover.

[@erniearambula3525]

I drive a E39 engine still runs strong and smooth idle for sparkplugs I use E3 I find when I drive long distance and I cruise it at 85 + mph the E3 sparkplugs give me a stronger spark at higher rpm giving me a decent gas mileage.

Doesn't look like much room for a turbo side intake set up. I was gonna see if you wanted the pipes and elbows I was going to use on my 335 but I really soo no way to fit two air filters over there

[@AMAzOOOOOOOn]

why didn't you get an aluminum one ?

[@ronaldcalderone3767]

Hi. One of my coil packs is stuck. Any suggestions my friends?

[@drewdavis239]

I was just on max peedings websight... searched "e39"..... valve covers, steering racks, ccv kits , lever sensors , soooooo much bmw part specific stuff... they have a m5x turbo manifold for 92$

[@TheBimmerBarn]

Yeah they reached out to me on a couple occasions about collaborating on some content. Looks like it could be the same quality parts as amazon or other Chinese parts suppliers. Should I see what they're about?

[@iiplaya]

@@TheBimmerBarn try it out

[@alexanderserralta6476]

Bro this kid using super glue jejeje, I’ve never seen this before, no torque pattern on the valve cover or torque, and spark plugs with an electrical tool and no torque this kid is wild jejeje guys there is better tutorials out there don’t do this, also don’t complain later when your pushing the car and u crack that hot trash cover with the heat, I think he spent more money on the gasket that the actual cover jejejeje

[@holldezz4675]

Hello, is this cover worth buying?

[@TheBimmerBarn]

If you asked me, yes! Some people had different experiences with theirs, but my valve cover fit well, looks good, and it was much more budget friendly than oem. Worth a shot!

I bought an oil filter housing gasket from Amazon 3 years ago. Last month, noticed an oil smell and when I stopped the car, I noticed a lot of oil over the passenger/right side of the car. I had already done the valve cover gasket so I couldn't figure out what the problem was. There was no leak from the oil filter housing gasket. I was perplexed at first but eventually it dawned on me what had happened. The oil was from the expansion tank. The oil filter housing gasket had failed internally (hence no leak from there) allowing high pressure oil to enter the coolant system. Since there wasn't enough space, the mixture of coolant and oil was forced out the expansion tank cap. When took the oil filter housing, I noticed the 3 year old gasket was gummy between the oil and coolant side but relatively normal around the edges. Worse part was the aluminum head had pitting where the gasket had turned gummy but nowhere else-- it was pristine the first time I replaced the gasket. I bought the Amazon gasket thinking, "what could go wrong with a gasket?" Now I know. I will never skimp on a gasket again. TL;DR Gasket chemistry can be unforgiving to an aluminum head. Caveat emptor.

[@SicSemperBeats]

3 years could be any number of miles. Id say that’s not that bad for a Chinese part lol

[@iSwaggs2000]

Any updates?

[@TheBimmerBarn]

Stopped my valve cover leak! But I haven't been driving this car, it needs turbos. My opinion, it's worth the money. If you get a bad cover, just return and let amazon eat it! :)

[@federicotorresbordils7624]

We will see in months how it leaks or doesn't BimmerN53

[@EXACTLYInstrumentals]

Omg Gang I'm Never Buying A Used BMW From You 😂

[@douglasmiller1467]

Nice way to save a few bucks.

[@dabracer3260]

Was literally about to buy this but couldn't decide if it was worth it being there's an integrated PCV valve that I wanted to make sure worked properly but lmk if everything is running good and if it fixed the issue so I can order it and get my 335i on the road again

[@autodiyfix7462]

Hey Man, You have a nice BMW channel. I think I must need to contact you.

[@wgbskate31]

U FORGOT TO TEST THE CAR! U DIDNT RUN IT OMMMGGGG

[@MrKnail41196]

Chinese it will break soon

[@robertkenney6002]

I bought one off Amazon $100.. no not worth it. Absolute shit. N54. Nothing lined up lol. Gasket was super hard. I always go oem genuine with bme valve covers… but I would consider the Elring valve cover my buddy bought one and it looked identical (350) compared to 529 for genuine

[@MrLaloman18]

That's $100 valve cover TRASH! Enjoy the problems that come with it....
