what’s the consensus on aluminum vanos covers?

Bmwdoubles_ · 04-18-2023, 04:59 PM

I just purchased aluminum snap on vanos covers from Euro Power Motorsports. I’m doing a valve cover job soon, and it seems Ike a good idea while you’re in there.

Has anyone installed these or similar and had trouble down the road with the covers or the vanos system afterward?

They haven’t been around that long, but I think long enough to possibly report back problems, if any.

Thanks

Had my Slon covers in the car for over a year, 9k kms, lots of redline driving, zero issues.
