The valve cover is responsible for sealing the internal workings of the engines' top end. Most vehicles require a replacement gasket at some point or another and newer models have plastic valve covers that get brittle and crack with age.
If your valve cover is leaking, warped, or cracked, we recommend replacing it with a brand new cover to prevent oil loss, vacuum issues, or check engine lights. This valve cover includes the mounting hardware and gasket necessary for installation, making the replacement process easy and simple.

Everywhere there is a seam on your engine, there is the potential for an oil leak. This is prevented through the use of gaskets and seals. If you have oil in your spark plug wells or oil on the side of the cylinder head, chances are you have a failed gasket. One such gasket that prevents oil leaks is the valve cover gasket. This gasket is used to seal the gap between the valve cover and the cylinder head, however, since this gasket is made of rubber, it has a tendency to become brittle, crack and start to leak due to its constant exposure to heat and engine oil. This Genuine BMW gasket kit includes all three necessary gaskets to eliminate oil leaks from the valve cover.
