To begin with, let's discuss the basics of the
valve cover gasket.

What Is A Valve Cover Gasket?

It essentially seals the gap between the valve
cover and the top portion of the engine.

By doing so, it achieves the following
objectives

• Prevents oil leak
• Protects valve train components

However, it can wear off, get loose, or break due
to extreme engine temperature.

And, when that happens the performance of your
BMW X3 will suffer.

signs of valve cover gasket failure.

your valve cover gasket.
