BMW Valve Cover 11127588412 – Genuine BMW Cylinder Head Cover

Product Description

The Genuine BMW Valve Cover 11127588412 is a replacement cylinder head cover designed for selected BMW petrol engines, particularly BMW models equipped with the N20 2.0L turbocharged engine.

Also known as a rocker cover, cylinder head cover or engine valve cover, BMW OE 11127588412 is written as 11 12 7 588 412. The cover forms the upper enclosure of the cylinder head and incorporates the crankcase ventilation system on applicable N20 applications.

The valve cover is an important engine component because it helps seal the top of the cylinder head while controlling crankcase vapours through the integrated ventilation system. A damaged or cracked cover can result in oil leakage or vacuum/air leaks.

What Does the BMW Valve Cover Do?

The valve cover seals the top of the cylinder head and helps contain engine oil and crankcase vapours within the engine.

On the applicable N20 engine, the valve cover also incorporates the crankcase ventilation/PCV system. This means that a problem with the cover or its integrated diaphragm can cause both oil leakage and vacuum-related engine symptoms.

A properly functioning valve cover helps:

Seal the cylinder head
Prevent engine oil leakage
Control crankcase vapours
Maintain proper crankcase ventilation
Prevent unwanted air/vacuum leaks
Protect the engine bay from oil contamination

Symptoms of a Faulty BMW Valve Cover

A damaged or deteriorated valve cover can produce several symptoms.

Oil Leaks

A cracked valve cover or failed sealing surface can allow engine oil to escape from the top of the engine.

Vacuum Leak

Because the N20 valve cover incorporates the crankcase ventilation system, a damaged PCV diaphragm or cover can create an unwanted air leak.

Rough Idle

A crankcase ventilation problem can affect engine operation and may contribute to rough or unstable idling.

Whistling or Unusual Engine-Bay Noise

A damaged PCV system can sometimes produce abnormal whistling or suction noises.

Increased Oil Consumption

Oil leakage or a problem with crankcase ventilation can contribute to increased oil usage.

Check Engine Light

A significant crankcase ventilation or air-leak problem can trigger engine-management fault codes.

These symptoms can have several causes, so proper diagnosis is recommended before replacing the valve cover.

Genuine BMW Replacement

Using the correct valve cover is important because the component is part of both the engine sealing system and crankcase ventilation system.
