Valve Cover

Maintaining proper oil levels in your engine is crucial for peak performance. Undetected leaks can cause your oil to drop to dangerously low levels between oil changes, leading to severe engine damage.

One common culprit for oil leaks is the valve cover. Over time, exposure to extreme temperature fluctuations can wear down the gaskets, causing them to fail. Prevent oil leaks and protect your engine by replacing these vital components.

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.

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 set, 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 set includes gaskets, bolts, and oil separators 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 left-side cylinder bank (cylinders 1-4). For the right-side cylinder bank (cylinders 5-8), see T#36913369.

Is your BMW M60 or M62 V8 engine leaking oil? You’re not alone. Oil leaks are a common issue, but we’ve got the perfect solution to keep your engine running clean and efficient.

The valve cover gasket is essential for keeping engine oil where it belongs – inside the engine. It ensures that your valve train and lifters are properly lubricated, preventing wear and tear. When this gasket fails, oil leaks out, creating a mess and potentially causing damage as it burns on hot engine components. Keep your engine compartment spotless and your BMW performing at its best with our valve cover gasket kit.

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

4 × M6 × 1.0 × 20 mm bolts

2 × M6 × 1.0 × 12 mm bolts
