🔧 OEM Victor Reinz 11 12 0030 496 Engine Valve Cover Gasket Set with 15-33077-02 Including Grommet Seals Review

Haven't run the engine yet but they seem to be of great quality and run very smoothly. Not sure what the other reviews are talking about but all bushings are included. I think there are 15 in the kit which is enough for all the screws and center studs. Would definitely buy again.

I have a 2004 BMW 325i and it started leaking badly, I bought this rocker cover gasket and it fitted my M54 engine perfectly. I replaced it myself and so far a month after installing this gasket the oil has not leaked out. I recommend this seal for BMW E46. Also, be sure to purchase all valve cover bolts and studs as replacements in case they break while touring.

I noticed some oil under my old rocker cover gasket on my 2001 330ci convertible. I've owned it for 7 years but nowhere in the receipts have I seen it replaced. My guess was that it was original and 19 years young. I've watched a few videos and some DIYers have used Victor Reinz's pad. I lived off the fact that it came with bushings so all I needed was an RTV tube and I was installed. Good thick quality rubber. I hope to drive at least 100,000 km without oil stains. I will update in 1 month.

Unfortunately I was not able to use this particular item from this purchase as it took me too long to fit it, meanwhile my old and heated oil leak from the seal caused a fire in my engine Bay of for exhaust leaks. Now I have to change everything from the valve cover to the secondary air pump. However, I can say that this valve cover gasket is definitely top notch. I know this from previous experience with the same part and brand. Definitely meets and/or exceeds OEM quality. The moral of this…

I seem to have managed to stop the slow leaking through the valve cover. When first installed it protrudes about 1/8 inch or a few millimeters from the cover. One of the questions and answers considers this to be normal, but I'm still not sure how much the material needs to be compressed to fully seat the screws. The stupid cover is also plastic, so it flexes a little when you put it on, especially in the corners. If you're particularly picky, get an OEM seal so you know it's as good as it…
