Elring Valve Cover

lukavergille · 11-22-2021, 03:44 AM

Does anyone have experience with Elring valve cover? Has anyone used it? https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-2438603-valve-cover/ I guess it might not be on par with OEM valve cover in quality wise but will it last at least 30k miles?
I was at the dealers and they told me the Valve cover with the Valve cover head gasket must be replaced, should i recheck if valve cover is really leaking? Car needs 1 quart of oil top up every 2500 miles and i thought it wasn't too much and valve cover might not be cracked but again I have no knowledge about this and i am just throwing words so any advice will be appreciated. So is Elring a good choice and is it better to change the valve cover while doing VCHD even if it's not cracked?

I just had a nightmare with my valve cover and buying a non OEM one, just go to FCPEuro and get the good one, you will not have any headaches and will not have to worry about anything

Keep in mind, the PCV is integrated with the valve cover. I wouldn't trust aftermarket PCV systems to do as good a job as the OE ones.
