Description
Upgrade your BMW N54 engine with the VTT Cast Valve Cover, designed to replace the factory plastic cover and cyclonic PCV system. This valve cover offers exceptional value by utilizing a cast design that undergoes the same precision machining process as our billet CNC version, providing enhanced durability and aesthetic appeal. Customize your setup with a variety of modular PCV fittings and breather options to create the perfect configuration for your engine.
Key Features:
-
High-Quality Construction: Made from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum for durability and strength. The valve cover is lightweight, weighing 9.0 lbs, which is only 1.1 lbs more than the stock cover.
-
Improved Design: Eliminates the factory plastic valve cover and cyclonic PCV system, allowing for enhanced PCV plumbing with VTT modular fittings.
-
Color Options: Available in Black Wrinkle and Red Wrinkle powder coat finishes, which hide casting imperfections and provide an appealing look. Custom colors are available for a $150 upcharge.
-
Cost-Effective: Offers lower pricing compared to other non-modular cast options on the market.
-
Complete Kit: Includes a new factory gasket and all required hardware for installation.
Installation Notes:
-
Engine Compatibility: This valve cover is designed to fit BMW N54 engines only and may require removal of the engine cover depending on your setup.
-
Tightening Specifications: Hand-tighten the cover, allow it to warm up, then re-tighten to hand-tight. Over-tightening can crack the valve cover.
-
PCV System Consideration: Switching to this aluminum valve cover removes the factory PCV system, so an external PCV setup is recommended to prevent smoking and improve turbo draining.
-
Compatibility with VTT Products: Designed to work with VTT modular catch can kits and head port block-off kits for optimal performance. Note that stainless breather or vacuum relief components will not fit on the front ORB due to hood clearance issues.
