Hey boss where you located
I was planning to buy a bmw, after this video Im going to buy a honda lol
Where can I order complete set valve cover gasket and upper timing chain gasket and o ring?
Thanks for sharing, great job….
Mine is burnin oil…is it valve cover gasquet…or something else???….head gasquet?
Is this n62 engine?
Maybe this is no good, but wish that I would have taken the car to the car wash, take off both air boxes and the front intake and power wash both sides from the AC Compressor up through the front timing covers and then back down to the alternator bracket. Mine was a mess. You can leave the MAF and vacuum line hooked up and just lay the front intake upside down over the rest of the engine. You can get nearly anywhere with the air boxes and front intake tubes.
I am not a pro, but a pretty skilled owner. This video was very helpful and I really appreciate it a lot. About 3 hours to tear everything down, 1 hour to get a few missing parts (cover nut fell in a crack in the cement and I did not have enough O rings for the front sensors) and about 4 hours to get everything back together. The gasket kit that I got required that I remove about 1/4" of gasket material off of the top (the part that goes into the cover) for it to seat right. Recommend a good telescoping magnet and a swivel head ratchet. Dealer could not believe that I was doing this and said that half of their techs would not be able to get this done on time. May the karma gods smile upon you well for taking the time to help others with this vide.
very good, thx and greeting from Munich
Damn thata a dirty engine
