Description

This precision-engineered engine valve (tappet) cover assembly is manufactured to exact original equipment specifications to provide an airtight, oil-tight seal across the top of the cylinder head. Constructed from high-strength, heat-stabilized thermoplastic resin, this complete cover assembly is built to resist warpage, hairline thermal cracking, and long-term degradation from engine heat and pressurized oil vapors. It integrates the internal PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve membrane, which commonly ruptures on high-mileage N52 engines causing vacuum leaks, rough idling, whistled noises, and oil consumption. Replacing a cracked or leaking valve cover restores correct crankcase pressure, stops oil leaks onto the exhaust manifold, and prevents misfires caused by oil-fouled spark plug wells.

Application Note: Specifically engineered for BMW 6-cylinder naturally aspirated N52 / N52N / N52K engines equipped with the black plastic composite valve cover. (Note: Does not fit early N52 engines equipped with the silver magnesium valve cover). Important Fitment Note: Includes integrated PCV valve diaphragm. Always inspect and replace the Valvetronic eccentric shaft sensor gasket, oil filler cap seal, and spark plug tube seals during installation. Torque valve cover bolts in proper cross-pattern sequence to factory specifications to prevent cracking.
