The original, used isn't an option I'm allowed. So says warranty.

If you going thru the trouble of having a compression test, might as well go with a leak down test at the same time.

IF compression is good and even across all cylinders there are no leaks to locate.

valve seal gaskets? that's what I ended up replacing, Loss of power, smoking, loss of mileage. Done while towing a loaded trailer over the Rockies.
But I'd do the leak down test. Time to find out exactly what's going wrong. So important to have a great dealer or indie to rely on. Sounds like yours is interested in only what's good for him..., not you.

Still waiting on Bema (dealer) to get a valve stem tool. Telling me they haven't found one yet and also don't know if it's them, me, or warranty paying for the tool. Anybody know of any place in Edmonton or Calgary that's got at least some kind of knowledge or experience with this procedure. My patience is fading.

Need to find a Canadian service place that has done valve stem seals before, I called every shop in Saskatoon that works on BMW's and nobody has a clue how to do such work.
