The cylinders of a boxer BMW are naturally predestined to be damaged if they fall over or slip. The spectrum ranges from annoying scratches to grinding through the valve cover. Since the valve covers are only mounted in a non-positive manner, there is a risk that they will move relative to the cylinder head when any force is applied and that the valve drive or the fastening threads may be affected. Sufficient reasons for attaching special importance to the protection of valve covers and cylinders. The BMW experts at Wunderlich have the right protectors for all Boxer model series, including the R nineT.
Valve cover & cylinder protectors
The Wunderlich valve cover and cylinder protectors are characterized by the fact that they fit precisely to the valve cover with a narrow gap. This requires precise production. The protector is made of high-strength aluminum. Its protective component stiffness results from the three-dimensional folded shape and the generous component thickness of 3 mm. The Wunderlich developers have structurally integrated a high-temperature-resistant, shock-absorbing material on the inside. When external forces occur, it ensures that they are evenly absorbed and distributed over the three solid attachment points on each side in order to avoid force peaks. The whole thing is rounded off by a 16 mm thick, integrated sanding pad.
easily exchangeable and serves as protection
It is easily replaceable and serves as a protection to prevent the valve cover from being dragged through and the inevitably associated oil loss. In many cases, they allow you to continue your journey unhindered. Wunderlich supplies a set consisting of the protectors for the right and left side as well as the necessary fastening material. The protectors are Made in Germany. Wunderlich points out that the valve cover & cylinder protectors are compatible with the standard BMW Euro 5 valve covers. Installation on option 719 valve covers is not possible for technical reasons.
