{"product_id":"bmw-valve-cover-20","title":"Original BMW Valve Cover with Gasket Set and PCV Valve for BMW N51\/N52 128i, 328i, 528i, X3, X5, and Z4 (2006–2013)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilt for the N51 and N52 inline-six, this Original BMW valve cover seals the top of the cylinder head on the 2006–2013 BMW 128i, 328i, 528i, X3, X5, and Z4. BMW's own name for it is cylinder head cover. A valve cover sits over the valves and valvetrain, keeping oil inside the engine and dirt, debris, and other contaminants out. Each cover weighs 3.9 kg (8.6 lb), is made in Austria, and ships as a complete assembly with its gaskets and mounting bolts. BMW shows it in production from June 2006.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW Parts are covered by a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eValve covers are typically a lifetime component, and the gaskets that seal them to the cylinder head are a common cause of oil leaks and smells as they harden and crack with age. A cover that is warped, cracked, or otherwise damaged has to be replaced rather than resealed. High engine temperatures can warp or crack a cover over time, and a blocked PCV valve can build crankcase pressure that damages it. Because the seals and bolts come in the box with this cover, there is no separate hardware kit to track down for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: BMW, made in Austria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 11-12-7-552-281\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW part name: Cylinder head cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngines: N51, N52, and N52N inline-six\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: valve cover gasket set, Valvetronic actuator gasket, Valvetronic shaft sensor seal, and mounting bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCV valve: integrated into the cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 3.9 kg (8.6 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction start: June 2006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24 months on Original BMW Parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Tuning Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eImproper installation, meaning uneven bolt torque or a poorly placed gasket, is one of the recognized causes of valve cover leaks and damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes with this valve cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt arrives with the valve cover gasket set, the Valvetronic actuator gasket, the Valvetronic shaft sensor seal, and the mounting bolts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the PCV valve included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
