I was beyond impressed by the craftsmanship.
It is made of aluminum. Super light, super sturdy.
It’s just clicks in instead of OEM and you are good to go. No messing with vanos bolts, timing tool etc.
The fitment is perfect. All four covers had zero play after installation.
I will not go too deep into DIY details. All the steps are pretty much the same as valve cover gasket replacement. (The DIY could be found here: https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1839655)
On top of that, you will need to remove 4 bolts of the front vanoses cover.
(do not forget to order the new gasket) |
By the way OP, as I undertand you got the first/prototype covers, did you by any chance discuss how they are tested/validated i.e. do you know if Slonik have had them on and checked they stay in place/keep the spring in place?
Thanks
