There is nothing better than a valve cover gasket when it comes to sealing the parts of a BMW’s engine. It takes the maximum damage every time the engine ignites. However, due to heat and dirt, it wears out overtime. Foul smell from the engine, oily valve cover, low levels of engine oil, rough idling- are the signs of its failure. It must be kept in good order for allowing BMW to perform optimally. And for that, you have to keep it inspected and replace it every time it breaks.
