Long story short, I was on a classifieds website and found an N54 valve cover that looks very similar to OEM but is made out of cast aluminum. After the seller made me believe this was something that he came up with, I was able to find a listing for it on Alibaba which seems to be from the original manufacturer. I have stayed away from the other metal valve cover options due to them not having the cyclone oil separators for the PCV system, which would cause excessive buildup in catch cans. If the cyclonic separators in this cover work like stock, this would be the best of both worlds. Obviously I'm weary about purchasing due to china quality, but also because I don't want this to be another a case where the plastic unit is better/safer than a metal unit (like with the URO metal oil filter cap).
Since I have never saw anything about this offering before today, I wanted to hear people's opinions about it and why it's a bad idea to buy haha
