Bremmen Parts Valve Cover

BMW's Single-VANOS M52 and S52 engines were equipped with plastic valve covers from the factory. Nearing thirty years post-production, this material choice has proven to be problematic. Due to years of exposure to extreme engine temperatures and chemical-rich engine oil, these plastic valve covers will eventually warp. This results in a valve cover that will not seal, requiring a complete replacement of both the plastic valve cover and associated gaskets.

To remedy this, many enthusiasts opt to swap for the magnesium valve cover found on M50 and S50 engines. Unfortunately, magnesium is no less resistant to heat-induced warpage than plastic.

Thankfully, Bremmen Parts is aware of these issues and has created an exact-fit, high-quality performance replacement for all Single-VANOS M52 and S52-equipped BMWs. This cover features durable aluminum construction, which eliminates the warping issue found on OE plastic and magnesium valve covers. Unlike the OE magnesium cover upgrade, Bremmen's aluminum cover retains the forward oil fill location found, allowing you to retain your existing engine beauty cover.

Whether you're replacing a warping plastic cover or preemptively replacing this failure-prone component, Bremmen has you covered with a direct-fit aluminum valve cover upgrade.

Oil leaks from the valve cover are a common issue on high-mileage S55 engines and should be addressed before they lead to bigger problems. Repeated heat cycles can cause the original plastic valve cover and gasket to warp, crack, or lose their seal over time. This Bremmen aluminum valve cover for the BMW S55 engine is a premium upgraded replacement, engineered for superior strength and longevity. Featuring a durable aluminum housing and an integrated PCV system, it offers a reliable, direct-fit solution to replace the factory valve cover and restore proper engine sealing.

Features pre-installed valve cover gasket and integrated PCV.

The factory magnesium valve covers on the S65 engine are known for developing micro-porosity, corrosion, and persistent oil leaks over time. This material is highly susceptible to oxidation, leading to unsightly surface imperfections, weakened gasket channels, and sealing issues that a simple gasket replacement won't fix.

Upgrade to this high-strength aluminum valve cover, engineered as a direct-fit replacement for your aging OEM covers. Unlike magnesium, aircraft-grade aluminum offers superior durability, enhanced heat resistance, and complete immunity to the corrosion issues that plague factory covers. Whether you're refreshing a high-mileage M3 or seeking long-term reliability, this upgrade ensures a leak-free, worry-free solution for your S65.

This valve cover includes gaskets, bolts, and the oil separator for a comprehensive replacement.

Features:

Eliminates the common porosity and corrosion issues found in factory magnesium covers.

Helps maintain optimal engine temperatures and enhances long-term reliability.

Gloss red finish provides a much-needed boost in engine bay aesthetic.

Designed for an OEM-like installation without modifications.

Reduces the risk of oil leaks, ensuring a proper seal.

Resistant to oxidation and chemical exposure for a long-lasting clean look.

The valve cover gasket seals the valve cover to the cylinder head, preventing oil leaks and maintaining engine integrity. Over time, exposure to high engine temperatures causes the gasket's rubber construction to degrade, leading to significant oil leaks. This often presents as a noticeable "burning oil" smell at idle, caused by oil dripping from the valve cover onto the hot exhaust manifolds.

If your valve cover gasket is failing, restore proper sealing and prevent further leaks with this premium OE replacement from Bremmen Parts.

Note: This gasket is designed for the right-side cylinder bank (cylinders 5-8). For the left-side cylinder bank (cylinders 1-4), see T#36913370.

Hardware to replace the coarse-thread screws originally used to mount components to the plastic valve cover.

Factory and aftermarket valve covers are made from plastic and use coarse-thread screws designed specifically for plastic. When upgrading to an aluminum valve cover, this hardware can no longer be used, as it will not properly thread into aluminum.

This kit includes all necessary hardware required to mount the factory components onto your upgraded aluminum valve cover.

Included Hardware:

2 × M6 × 1.0 × 40 mm bolts
