Since this issue has become known, people that throw parts at problems without diagnosing first are buying them and that has driven the price up.
Just to followup, I did another 40k miles since I found the ugly metal shavings and all is a-ok. |

Does the N55 have these? Can't find it on realoem or elsewhere so I assume not.

Here is what mine looked like after 251,712 miles of 7k mile oil changes. I replaced them because I had them but I would say I waisted $50.

So after a week on the new VANOS Check valves there’s a definite improvement in low end power. So for the hell of it I ran a 0-60 check with my ScanGauge and it shows a .4 second improvement in 0-60. It’s not much but I will take it.

I know this is a super old thread but any further update? Just found metal shavings in my check valves.

I have just replaced these, aswell as my VANOS solenoids.
Very soon after I now have a "tuner" style exhaust sound and a lean trim code. Is it possible one of these isnt quite torqued properly and leaking air? Or should I look elsewhere?
