SKP SK914302 Engine Variable Valve Lift Eccentric Shaft Actuator

Engine Valve Lift Actuator Overview

The SKP SK914302 is an engine variable valve lift eccentric shaft actuator for BMW applications that use this control component. It is listed for multiple 4.4L and 4.8L-era BMW models, including the 550i, 650i, and X5, with fitment defined by the vehicle application and actuator notes.

Key Features

• Engine variable valve lift eccentric shaft actuator
• Direct replacement part number SK914302
• Fits multiple BMW V8 applications from 2002-2010
• Cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 914-302 and 914302 for the same application

Detailed Description

SKP SK914302 is a replacement actuator used in BMW variable valve lift systems. This component is cataloged for the 550i, 650i, 750i, 750Li, Alpina B7, X5, 545i, 645Ci, 745i, and 745Li, making it a fitment-based choice for owners servicing the eccentric shaft actuator on these vehicles. The part number SK914302 is also referenced as 914-302 and 914302 in interchange data.

For BMW 550i, BMW 650i, and BMW X5 applications, confirm the actuator listing against the vehicle’s model year and engine configuration before ordering. The actuator note in the fitment data identifies this as an actuator-specific engine component rather than a general sensor or switch.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring variable valve lift control when the actuator is worn or failing
• Addressing drivability issues tied to eccentric shaft actuator operation
• Replacing a damaged engine actuator during valve lift system service
• Correcting fault conditions related to BMW variable valve lift hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the part number SK914302 against the original component and match the vehicle application exactly. Because fitment spans several BMW models and years, confirm the actuator note in the catalog before installation. Professional installation is recommended for engine control components of this type.

Quality Assurance

SKP catalogs this actuator as a direct replacement-style engine component for the listed BMW applications. Interchange references include 914-302, 914302, and A2C53122600 for cross-checking application coverage.
