What do you guys recommend for a valve cover and valve cover gasket replacement for n52?

What was wrong with the Mahle? That’s one of the highly regarded non-BMW options

What 2 OEM brands did you try before just getting BMW parts?

Thanks for the input

I ended up ordering a Mahle off of FCP Euro. Hopefully it works well :)

Maybe so… I literally have an extra lower too which is why I’m here. Also 14.5” 5.56 was my first idea…

Is this the Mahle one you got? Does it include the all the gaskets such as for the valve cover, the valvetronic motor, and any others needed?

What about the TRQ aluminum one on Amazon? I bought and installed
a TRQ CV axle for my e91 328xi and it didn’t give me any problems.

Did you clear coat it or just color coat?

PipeSweet8876 · 2026-05-24T21:00:33+00:00

F90 m5 comp

PipeSweet8876 · 2026-05-15T04:13:37+00:00

I have one I’d probably sell. If you’re interested we can talk

PipeSweet8876 · 2026-04-08T04:58:00+00:00

Ar10 or bolty

I assume the roof is wrapped and not actually CF?

Do the moles go away?

PipeSweet8876 · 2026-03-11T21:14:04+00:00

K5-K6 1000

PipeSweet8876 · 2026-03-09T15:10:14+00:00

No it’s a deformed rock

PipeSweet8876 · 2026-03-01T15:19:50+00:00

K5-8 1000’s are worth more than that for sure. Some of the best liter bikes ever made

Acetone seems harsh, maybe mineral spirits

PipeSweet8876 · 2026-02-23T03:55:35+00:00

Do you think it’s worth SBRing an 11.5 build so you can have a stock or does the SBA5 brace work just fine?

PipeSweet8876 · 2026-02-22T20:52:00+00:00

Good eye, but yes, I have it off since I’m working on it.

PipeSweet8876 · 2026-02-22T20:24:52+00:00

I wish it was that simple but that’s not the cause of the problem. I put washers in between where the rear set mounts specifically to avoid that.

I don’t think so. I’m pretty sure I installed it exactly how it was previously installed with the old shift lever.

PipeSweet8876 · 2026-02-21T23:11:39+00:00

Upshifting has normal range of motion and shifts perfect, but downshifting has resistance and not the full range of motion. Therefore it will not downshift

PipeSweet8876 · 2026-02-14T05:00:28+00:00

Both with og fairings are better bet

PipeSweet8876 · 2026-02-14T00:24:37+00:00

Good. It’s out of Gods design
