Valve Cover Powdercoating Recomendations

Hi all,

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I've just had the valve cover gaskets replaced on my 2010 E90 M3, but it seems to be still seeping.

Judging by the forum posts it looks like I will need to get the valve covers refinished/powdercoated in order to fix the problem completely.

I am located in Melbourne, Victoria, and I was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations locally to get this done. Ideally, looking for recommendations in Victoria, but will also consider interstate.

Thanks.

Just get the NRW-Design aluminum valve covers. Won't leak like the stock Mg ones.

AFAIK coating of valve covers is purely for aesthetics, it's the gaskets that seal so maybe wasn't installed properly.
