BMW 335i N54 $200 eBay ALUMINUM VALVE COVER UNBOX & INSTALL

[@calum961]

Got mine but used oem gasket and upgraded metal pcv in it and is all good 👌

[@MobLyfeMedia]

which PCV valve did you use

[@milehighboost5521]

So glad i found this. Heck of a deal on an aluminum valve cover that has perfect fitment. No need to worry about a cracked VC anymore.

[@keltalon]

lol thats not true that thing is cheap and cracks easily.

[@WayToManyAssassins]

Aluminum can warp too. It actually retains more heat than the plastic

[@atfthestore1313]

@@WayToManyAssassinsplastics warps much more then aluminum, i work in injection molding for a living.

[@JQ_Unity]

Been running it with that provided gasket. No issue at all. I used to be scared of stuff like that too but as long as you inspect things properly beforehand, all good. I also do a ton of research of where things are produced, etc as well. Engineer in me says approved, we put it on. One thing I didn't like that I had bought before was helix overdrive, one drift event and I could tell that thing was gonna cause me problems in the long run. Took it off track side and sold it to a normal street car guy.

Our new plastic unit with gaket leaked after a year. Found all the bolts came loose. Simply retorqued and she was good.

[@kar4tube]

Great find! I’ve been wanting to grab an aluminum VC since Day 1. Never could justify the cost of the VTT option: especially consider all of the hidden costs. I’ll be queuing up for one of these now. Thanks!

[@N54_Do]

Thanks for watching! Seems like all the eBay ones are same manufacture with different branding so if the link I shared is sold out just look around, good luck!

[@Thor_Asgard_]

also a good benefit for cooling. will get one myself, thx

[@ravszee]

I was eyeing this kit for awhile! appreciate the video

[@N54_Do]

Thanks for watching!

[@Frank-vk4sv]

Need a review on this ASAP! Thinking of pulling the trigger for my 535i xdrive! I heard the other non n54 models leak so I’m not sure about this

[@1991june]

I used an aftermarket gasket when i did mine and 10k miles later its leaking it was leaking before to I think that my valve cover might just be bad it the original mahle bmw plastic one

[@franciscodlp4917]

What Torq did you go with for the bolts

[@geoffreym2769]

I run one and they are good

[@N54_Do]

Nice! I’ve heard good feedback, can’t beat it for the price too

[@geoffreymoulton5707]

@@N54_Do the gasket that theycome with is crap, had to replace mine, after 300km

[@MrKALANCE]

The aftermarket are better seals, because the ones from factory always leaks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mathisve]

Need to do a valve cover replacement myself. Thinking about getting an aluminum one (since they're cheaper than OEM). How has this held up over the past year?

[@shahyaanrizvi4779]

Did u end up getting it? If so how is it

[@tahirneamd5424]

How often will the bolts loose itself? Once? After warm first time

[@centenarioguy]

How do you know that happens

[@ELUSlVE]

What does the turbo get in the way of? it seems like the downpipe is more in the way than the turbo would be

[@jameswan670]

Hi. How it is holding now? No issue with oil seperator? Is the oil seperator diaphram is replacible?

[@e9x_nando432]

How is the valve cover holding up ?

[@Wattis161]

Do you think it’s capable for daily driving.?

[@N54_Do]

100%

[@Wattis161]

@@N54_Do thanks!!

[@keytonkunzle5400]

Did you put the little plastic sleeves on the new bolts i’m not sure what to do ?

[@Edward135i]

Now all we need is for someone to make a aluminum water pump.

[@SL9SH]

Pierburg makes one I have one installed on my car

[@darulawhips]

Did you torque them to spec

[@euko6876]

Any update on how this has been running so far? Any potential leaks or issues?

[@N54_Do]

No leaks or anything only thing is some bolts got loose after a few heat cycles but after snugging them down again she’s been good

[@sockglock1453]

yo hows it holdin up ?

[@N54_Do]

Great! No leaks or anything, 2 drift events so far, one coming up Saturday too

[@ALIAK1]

Thanks for the vid i whish you post the update vid soon

[@N54_Do]

Uploading today or tomorrow. Drove 45 miles, did some pulls. No leaks or anything

[@an3ony]

any update on the reliability of this? has it given you any grief?

[@N54_Do]

No issues, few drift events later and it’s still good.

[@Bandwidth24]

Is it still holding up

[@N54_Do]

Yup!

[@MrChubs209]

Have they made one for the N55 yet?

[@N54_Do]

Yea! My buddy got one

[@MrChubs209]

@N54_Do thanks for the info! So would you recommend getting one if I'm just a daily driver/road trip kind of person ?

[@josephkelly4893]

Nice, sold out though 😢

[@N54_Do]

Thanks for watching! Try searching aluminum n54 valve cover on eBay and I’m sure others will be in stock. They’re all the same thing just different branding probably

[@luluhus1]

Thought about getting this too. Want to paint it to.

[@N54_Do]

That will be dope!
