VTT Modular Cast Aluminum CNC Valve Cover Kit

VTT-N54-CAST-VC-3

Description

This is a cast version of our incredibly popular Billet CNC valve cover. Instead of starting with a billet piece of aluminum. This cover is cast. then it goes through the same machining process as our billet VC. This keeps the cost down and makes for an awesome valve cover that eliminates the factory plastic cover, and its cyclonic PCV system. This also allows you to run any of our modular PCV fittings, crankcase breather, vacuum relief, billet banjos, catch can kits, etc.

This truly is the best bang for your buck Valve Cover upgrade on the N54 market. High quality, low price, great looks, no cracking, and unlimited PCV plumbing options makes this a no brainer upgrade!

We offer three color options. Black Wrinkle and Red Wrinkle Powder coat which will hide all casting imperfections, and look the best.

Valve Cover Details:

• Cast CNC 6061-T6 Aircraft aluminum construction
• Anodized or powder-coated in a variety of colors
• Lightweight; 9.0 lbs. (compared to 7.9 lbs for a stock cover – only 1.1 lbs difference)
• Gives the end-user true variety for setting up their Valve Cover and PCV System by utilizing all existing VTT PCV fitting, and breather options
• Lower pricing than other non-modular cast options on the market
• Includes new factory gasket, and all required hardware for installation

PLEASE NOTE: THE STAINLESS BREATHER OR VACUUM RELIEF WILL NOT FIT ON THE FRONT ORB AS IT WILL NOT CLEAR THE HOOD.

Please note: This cover may or may not fit with your engine cover depending on how you have it set up, and is designed to be run without an engine cover. This fits the BMW N54 engine ONLY.

ALSO NOTE: Tightening specs on these are as follows:

HAND TIGHT, LET WARM UP, RETIGHTEN TO HAND TIGHT. ANY MORE AND YOU CAN CRACK THE VALVE COVER AS IT IS SITTING ON THE GASKET

WHEN GOING TO AN ALUMINUM VC YOU ARE REMOVING THE FACTORY PCV SYSTEM, AD ITS FUNCTION. IF YOU DO NOT REPLACE WITH AN EXTERNAL PCV SET UP THERE IS A VERY GOOD CHANCE YOUR N54 WILL SMOKE. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING EXTERNAL AT A MINIMUM ON THE LOW SIDE TO PROVIDE VACUUM TO THE CRANKCASE AT IDLE TO HELP WITH TURBO DRAINING, ETC. WE ALSO SUGGEST BLOCKING THE HEAD PORTS WHEN GOING TO AN ALUMINUM COVER, THIS STOPS THE GASKET FROM HAVING TO DO ALL THE WORK OF KEEPING BOOST OUT OF THE CRANKCASE. THESE VC’S ARE DESIGNED TO WORK WITH OUR MODULAR CATCH CAN KITS AND HEAD PORT BLOCK OFF KITS. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHAT TO ORDER EMAIL US, WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP
