Repairing my bmw
 really? Is it that hard to understand? I'm replacing my valve cover on my engine and with that many miles should I replace other requirements? Like spark plugs, coils, etc. I'm making a list of repair so I would like to do it all at once.Last edited by kanobi2017; 08-20-2017 at 12:24 PM.. Reason: Addition |

Really, you think this is well written English grammar to convey that you are going the replace the valve cover gasket and asking what other maintenance items need to be considered? Replacements related to what, wheel bearings, windshield wipers, nitrogen in the tires? And your car has at least 80,000 miles, could not the reader think the car has more that 80,000 miles, say 200,000? Ask a succinct and focused question and you'll get a succinct and focused answer.

Plugs and Coil packs should be sufficient. However if you're feeling froggy ... eccentric shaft position seal and a valvetronic camshaft gasket for safe measure as they are known to leak as well. My eccentric shaft seal was replaced when my VCG was done ... so I'd recommend doing it. They're pretty inexpensive. It's all about how deep into this you want to delve, heck you could replace the valvetronic camshaft actuator if you wanted to ... that doesn't mean you have to or would need to. |

Wow...
Ok the last reply, thx for your answers that's what I was asking for, I appreciate your answer. To be more specific, I wasn't asking about the valve cover gasket. More like the engine valve cover housing but anyways.. I've got my answers thanks again and to the person tell me to search for millers website, thanks for that too.
