you don't need it for yours. If you buy an X5 with the N62, you might need it.

Isn't the 4.6 the older N62 with less horse power?????

I've seen the old style valve stem seals (at least pictured) for sale on the internet - the new & old style have the same part number - this is just a word of warning - if purchasing valve stem seals from a source other then the dealer, beware that you are not purchasing someones old stock.

That's right - The N62 is 4.4 (325 hp) and the N62TU is 4.8 (360 hp)

You're right. I should get that permanently in the memory bank.

I always refer to my engine as a 4.6, don't relate to the M62 designation.

I don't know about others but I read so much about the smoking problem and other problems like those involving transmissions etc. I get to the point that I have to remind myself that not all of the problems I read about are going to happen to me.

I still think the tool is great and a justifiable tool purchase--------------for those with N62 engines, of course.
