Any idea on price?

 

I don't want to misquote because it's in tooling/manufacturing stage. If you're interested I'd shoot him an e-mail martin@allgermanauto.com
If you're a shop owner, tool supplier and/or work on N62s - I'd get my name on the list for when it becomes available.

 

See update below

 

Interesting news. Currently, my '04 545i has two of three common big engine problems: clogged secondary air port and leaking valve stem seals. I know the coolant transfer pipe will start leaking soon. I am going to see if AGA will give me a discount if I purchase all three kits at once. $$$$

 

The new tool from AGA is now available:

I think the new style valve stem seal - updated version not allowing the oil to pool inside the seal should make a big difference. After thinking about AGAs description of the improvements, it makes perfect sense on why the old seal style allowed so much oil consumption. The top of the valve guide was constantly submerged in a puddle of oil. The new style has removed that cavity, so even as the new seal wears, the oil will naturally want to expel to the outside of the seal. So the moral of this story is, be sure when you replace your seals you have purchased the new style (red in color).
