This carbon fiber engine cover fits BMW's with 6 cylinder models with M54 motor 2.5 or 3.0 liter dual overhead cam 6 cylinder, double VANOS engine.
Set includes 2 carbon fiber pieces: 1 engine valve cover and 1 fuel rail and injector cover.
Each set comes complete with billet alluminum mounting hardware and the RACING DYNAMICS logo in silver to compliment the black carbon fiber finish.
RACING DYNAMICS carbon fiber engine covers are made in a dry carbon fiber process, utilizing an autoclave and prepreg process rather than the normal wet process that many small shops utilize.
Racing Dynamics places carbon fiber fabric pre-impregnated with the necessary resin around a mold, and vacuumed bags it to remove air bubbles from the fabric. It is then placed in an autoclave oven to bond the sheets of carbon fiber, resulting in a shiny carbon fiber engine cover. This process allows carbon fiber to form into a strong and lightweight composite which is less brittle than wet formed carbon fiber.
You can usually notice the difference between wet carbon fiber and dry carbon fiber by looking at the surface of the material. Dry carbon fiber surfaces are smooth and don't show air bubbles. In contrast, wet carbon fiber is wavy and air bubbles are noticeable. Because of the molding process, dry carbon cost more to produce then wet carbon. However, since wet carbon fiber loses its durability over time, dry carbon is the best product for the long term.
Each cover comes complete with billet aluminum mounting hardware and the RACING DYNAMICS logo in silver to compliment the black carbon fiber finish.
