That being said, it hasn't been very much time here, and the weather has definitely gotten alot colder. Need more time to draw any definitive conclusions. Nothing else was done during the job that I would think would have had any impact. Just valve covers, cam cover gaskets, spark plug tubes and plugs, and a power steering flush. I'll report back in a few months once I get some more real world data here. |

I haven't replaced the vanos covers, still waiting to arrive but I have replaced my valve covers, spark plug tubes, everything that's goes with replacing valve covers. The noise that people were talking about is there before and after the job. I'll be doing all that again and only difference will be the vanos cover.
I believe the noise is from oil pump.

Not surprised. Mine took about 3-4 weeks after being released to get to my local post office. Be patient.

Here's what these look like anodized, in case anyone is curious.

If it does you might have some issues clipping it on since the tolerance was extremely tight when I installed mine. I had to push pretty hard on some of the final clips to have them "click" into place. |

At least that's what the wording on the MIL-Spec says. I don't happen to have the spec in front of me at the moment, but it says something to the effect of… "If the thickness is NOT specified, on the part drawing or the purchase document, .002" surface thickness shall be applied." On parts with tightly toleranced bores (+/-.001", or less), and especially with sealing surfaces, I always specify anodize to .001" thick. The machine shops can really struggle with holding those tight size tolerance and surface finish requirements, when asking for .002" thick. Two other "Booger Eating Nerd" facts about anodize thickness. It doesn't build up on sharp corners very well the thicker you go, and can flake off easier. Also, the thicker the layer, the softer it becomes.

I do not anticipate any issues clipping these on because of the anodizing. |

Heads up guys;
Took a quick look today just to find one of the tabs doesn't appear snapped on. The shop claim they are certain all went on. Talking to a mate who did the job himself he says it is easy to believe they are fully on but needs to be double checked. The spring has to be forced all the way tight into the vanos plate to enable the cover to be fully seated. So new round with the shop... |
