FIXED MY PROBLEM - No more N55 death screech. Worth the price and trouble

The check will be short and simple: - This may or may not solve your problem - Remove the old PCV, some use a dremel to cut the old one apart (messy ). I made a SLOT and used a flat head to pry it off. no mess. - Clean the area before installing the new PCV - most YouTube videos suggest applying glue inside the PCV cap or on the round area at the highest point of the valve cap. I decided not to do this as I didn't want the glue to run inwards. Instead I chose to apply glue to the OUTER EDGE. So when the PVC cover is installed excess glue is pushed down and out instead of in and up - optional step, I used self-adhesive silicon tape for extra strength / so the cover never peels off the car = 2012 BMW x3 (f25, n55) Miles = 128,000 (Valve cover gasket replaced at 120,000, PCV failed 8,000 later) Real experience = new PCV cover was on 3 trips each lasting 1-2 hours or 50-100+ miles. in varying levels of traffic (worse than LA) and still holding up. I will let you know if anything changes. If anyone wants to avoid paying for a new valve cover, this is worth a try!
