Why would you call somebody out like this? Nobody thinks of this as a permanent fix. We all realize this is a band aid. I appreciate Able truck sharing his solution to the problem. You come across as an asshole. When you have this problem and run to the mechanic, please share your repair bill with us. Im personally tired of dumping thousands into my car, just because it says BMW.

If I had that problem I'd do the same as OP in a skinny minute, a New York minute, quicker than I could eat a gummy bear. Besides, while some have corrected the problem by the very expensive process of valve guides and seals, after reading most of the posts on this issue I question if that is the only fix or something that was replaced in the process is just as likely to be the culprit in some cases. I say, thanks for sharing and keep us posted, or at least some of us, how this plays out.

@tiagx5
I agree with pcb5... We all know this isnt a bmw engineered fix, but sometimes you dont need to think outside the box to fix something... Sometimes the simple way works best, not only that he is contributing to something alot of n62s have problems with including mine. And if your so "fix it the bmw way" why dont you send us all a check so we can spend your money, if this prevents oil from geting in the intake it IS a fix and wont cause other issues cause its obviously stopping the issue.. Stop acting... No better way to say it "a big asshole" to someone who has actually contributed, versus you contributing jack shit to this thread. What a prick..

Was in no way trying to be a prick, am pointing out that there is a cascading effect when repairs do not correct root causes of problems.

Maybe Corvette has found the solution (time will tell). I'm not to keen on a Dyson Vaccum (I've never used one) but they sell the shit out of them. Even in the truck repair world they have had to reroute the breather tube for emission reasons. But they were smart enough to use a filter to separate oil from air. It's about the size of my BMW air filter.

I think TiAgX5 is a tree hugger that hates to see anybody mess with the emissions stuff on a vehicle. Or, maybe he works for the EPA....and he's about start issuing fines to everybody on the forum that's altered their vehicles. We're all screwed! We've have big brother after us now. What happened to the days of the ole Chevy 350 when there was a simple breather on top of the valve covers....

I've been involved in dozens of these types of "make it to shore" repairs in the '70s and '80 when out on 3 day deep sea fishing trips and 6 to 8 week cruises up and down the eastern seaboard of the NA continent (everything from big block Chevys to a 53' Bertram SportFish with Cummins VT8370s W/twin turbos). I've also redesigned/fabricated a few automotive components, the 1st gen Viper in my sig has an oversize trans input shaft, bearing and front billet front trans plate (torn down, CMMed, designed in UniGraphics, CNC machined, assembled and reinstalled by me), to handle the added power and get rid of the input bearing neutral rattle that is common on gen 1 and 2 Vipers. I avoid these indirect repairs whenever possible. Pulling heads and sending them to a machine shop for a rebuild is no big deal. I'm a manufacturing engineer for the aerospace industry and had therefore well aware of the millions of $s and hours that go into designing and testing systems.
