Whenever a service is performed that requires the removal of the valve cover, replacing the gasket is so simple and effective that it should be done every time. A common source of oil leaks and excessive engine smoke, the valve cover gasket seals the engine cover to the cylinder head, allowing oil to effectively lubricate your valvetrain. ECS offers genuine OEM and Elring Valve Cover Gaskets for your N54 powered BMW E9X 335i/Xi. Additionally, if your valve cover itself is cracked, overly worn, or otherwise damaged, an OEM BMW Valve Cover is also available.
