The BMW N63 rear cover is a metal plate that covers the rear of the BMW N63 V8 engine. It helps to seal the engine and prevent oil leaks. Over time, the original sealing gasket becomes brittle and does not seal, causing leaks between the engine and transmission bell housing. This repair can be very expensive and is usually misdiagnosed for a rear main seal. The AGA Updated N63 Rear Cover is an inexpensive alternative, made of 6061 billet aluminum. This kit includes the rear cover, viton o-ring, alcohol wipe, scotch-brite pad and o-ring grease. BMW Part # 11142446298 & 11148483799 BMW Service Bulletin (SIB) 11 09 16

When it comes to optimizing the performance and longevity of your BMW N55 or S55 engine, few upgrades can rival the impact of replacing the camshaft, bearings, and gaskets. These essential components play a pivotal role in your engine's overall health and performance, and upgrading them can deliver a host of benefits, from increased power to enhanced reliability. In this article, we'll explore the advantages of investing in these critical upgrades for your BMW N55 or S55 engine. Improved Performance: Upgrading your BMW N55 or S55 engine with a new camshaft can significantly boost its performance. A high-quality camshaft can optimize valve timing, leading to improved airflow and combustion efficiency. This, in turn, results in increased horsepower and torque, providing you with a more exhilarating driving experience. If you're seeking that extra punch when you hit the gas pedal, a new camshaft is the way to go. Enhanced Durability: The camshaft, bearings, and gaskets are fundamental components of your engine's internal structure. Over time, wear and tear can cause these parts to degrade, potentially leading to catastrophic engine failure. By replacing these components with high-quality, performance-oriented alternatives, you're not only increasing horsepower but also reinforcing the engine's durability. This can help prevent costly breakdowns and extend the life of your BMW engine. Optimal Efficiency: Efficiency is a key factor in engine performance. Worn-out bearings and gaskets can lead to oil leaks and reduced engine efficiency. Replacing them ensures a tighter seal, minimizing oil leaks and maintaining the proper lubrication for all moving parts. This leads to better fuel efficiency and a smoother, more reliable engine operation, all while reducing maintenance costs in the long run. Increased Resale Value: Investing in high-quality components like camshafts, bearings, and gaskets not only enhances your driving experience but also adds value to your BMW. When it's time to sell or trade-in your vehicle, potential buyers or dealerships will recognize the value of these upgrades, making your car more desirable and potentially increasing its resale value.
