Troubles with the plastic valve cover on e36 generation post 96 cars?
Eliminate the plastic for metal, it is a relatively easy swap altho can have other costs associated with coils. However no longer need to worry or look for plastic ones from salvage yards and their condition. It will last!
Need
Metal valve cover from M50/S50 generation Pre 1996 (OBD2)
Pre 1996 valve cover gasket
PCV valve attachment to valve cover
Hoses to cope with PCV attachment
I show the rest. Zipties! Dremel, normal mod stuff
I caught a crack on the plastic one before Vacuum leak occurred so no idle/other performance issues were suffered.
