Head gasket - oil pressure check valve...

Thanks for the great write up. I just got most of my parts in and got my head back all cleaned up and ready to start putting my car back together. Do I need to replace the oil pressure check valve on the head? If so, do you have a part number? I think that my machine shop left it in while they worked on it and cleaned the head. I don't want to have to do this job again if that valve is likly to fail.

If you're at all uncertain about the valve, then I would indeed replace it. It's a special order BMW item - our sales reps at 1-888-280-7799 can assist you with looking up the part number and getting one for you.
