Review on ๐Ÿš€ JDMSPEED Turbo Valve Cover Replacement 11127565284 for BMW 135I 335I 535I Z4 X6 Engine by Charlie Maadhadians

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost 2 years on this cover, still works great!

I installed this on my 335i e90 with a 2008 N54 engine. So far it works perfectly, but there are a few things to consider before installing. The screws provided are not very good and some had defective threads (showing mixed/no thread). After several attempts, I decided to remove ALL the screws that came with it and install my original BMW screws. Second, I took a look at the gasket that came with it and threw it away. It is made from very poor quality material (I have never seen a car gasket done like a professional mechanic with 10 years experience) and due to the complexity of this job I would recommend an OEM gasket like Mahle or Victor Reinz. Finally, I don't know how much I trust the PCV setting on this one. I uninstalled it and installed my own which is an upgraded aluminum part that you can find from various vendors for the N54. With PCV being a known issue on these vehicles, now is the perfect time to fix it. Overall the most expensive and important part, the valve cover, is holding up great on my modified engine and we will continue to follow its progress. . No leaks, no cracks, no weird power surges, etc.

Pros
  • Includes: valve cover, gasket
Cons
