You think so?

Now, my valve cover is leaking after 44k. That seems really premature...?

TommyK · 01-26-2011, 05:25 PM

Just saw this in the florida chat section, having mixed feelings on that rear exhaust setup...

BMW rubber/plastics/seals kinda suck in general. At least valve cover gaskets are really easy to change.

That rear diffuser needs to curve around the tips or something. They look wrong just hanging underneath it.

Yeah, almost always. It's like $20 and 15 minutes being thorough on an M20.

It's also pretty trivial on M52s, M54s, and S54s. Can't imagine N-series engines would be much harder to change a leaking VCG. OTOH, a common problem on your engine seems to be broken bolts, which may make this a pain, depending on how hard it is to extract them.
