| $1.75 | | M3 Valve Adjustment Plates | | The E46 BMW M3 uses a mechanical style valvetrain which increases top end power. However the downside is that they require periodic adjustment, unlike the hydraulic camshafts used on all other E46 3 Series. The valves on the M3 are adjusted by inserting these adjusting plates which vary in thickness, in between the valves and the camshafts. Here at Pelican, we are able to supply you with the correct adjustment plates for your car. |
