Manufactured from a high-strength composite material, this cover protects the dual overhead camshafts, valvetrain, and VANOS system.

Due to the extreme heat cycles generated by the twin-turbocharger setup, the composite material can eventually \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"226\"\u003ewarp or develop hairline cracks\u003c\/b\u003e, leading to persistent oil leaks.
