URO 11147507278 Engine Valley Pan Cover with Gasket

The URO 11147507278 Intake Valley Pan is a critical engine component designed for BMW N62 V8 engines. This cast aluminum cover sits in the valley between the cylinder heads beneath the intake manifold, serving as a coolant passage that channels coolant from the water pump to the rear of the engine block.

Key Features:

• Complete cover cap assembly with integrated rubber gasket
• Cast aluminum construction for durability and heat resistance
• U-shaped coolant conduit design eliminates the need for additional hoses
• Seals the engine block valley to prevent coolant leaks
• Direct replacement for BMW OEM part number 11147507278

The valley pan gasket is a common wear item on BMW N62 engines. Over time, heat and age cause the integrated gasket to become hard and brittle, leading to coolant seepage around the edges. This typically appears as coolant residue around the rear of the cylinder heads or coolant pooling under the rear of the engine. Replacing a leaking valley pan requires removal of the intake manifold and water pump, making it an intermediate-level repair best suited for experienced DIY mechanics or professional installation.
