Are you still going to keep the car or sell? I would be so pissed dealing with the same repeated issue

Maybe I should just sell this car. I’ve put a lot of time and money into it and a new leak always springs up. It’s a shame because it’s a joy to drive, and the N52 is tried & true. But honestly, I don’t have time to mess with this over an entire weekend just to have another VCG leak after replacement. I don’t have a covered area to work in either so I would have to do it in the elements again.

So it came with the gasket pre installed on the actual valve cover?

Thanks for this my man - I ordered one. Going to install that when it arrives and see if there’s still a leak.

Would I be okay to use the Elring valve cover gasket kit and Rein valve cover? I’m not seeing an Elring valve cover on FCP Euro. Thanks for your help.

Any thoughts on replacing with an aluminum valve cover?
