The cylinders of a boxer BMW are exposed. A stone chip, a fall off-road or when scraping a plastered wall when maneuvering in a confined space, there is a risk of scratching the valve cover. With the 1250 Shiftcam engines, the construction of the Shiftcam mechanism is extremely complex. Since the valve covers are only mounted with a non-positive fit, there is a risk that the valve cover will shift relative to the cylinder head in the event of any force, possibly affecting the complex valve train. Therefore, the additional protection of the valve cover is of particular importance. We have developed a set of well thought-out protectors for this. These are characterised by the fact that they lie precisely on the valve cover with a narrow gap.

The protector consists of an impact-resistant, hard-wearing plastic. On the inside facing the valve cover, we have structurally integrated segments with a high-temperature-resistant elastic material. These segments are with regard to their shore hardness^*) shock-absorbing dimensioned. Their equally supporting and protective effect ensures that when external forces occur, these are absorbed and distributed evenly across the segments, thus avoiding force peaks. The high-quality design and function of the protectors are rounded off by an embedded stainless steel insert. If the worst comes to the worst, it serves as protection to prevent the valve cover from being scraped through and the oil loss that is inevitably associated with it. In this way, the protectors help to prevent secondary damage. In many cases, they allow you to continue your journey unhindered after a mishap. Installation is easy with the included installation kit.

A notice:

These valve cover & cylinder protectors are only compatible with the standard BMW valve covers.
