    Valve Cover Gasket Repl. (how to?)

    I searched all of the old threads and couldn't find anything on the how to's.
    Any of your help along with any diagrams or pics will help, never done an M42 before so any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

    I really would love some help for pointers before I get my hands dirty.

      Valve cover gasket? Probably one of the easiest jobs on this motor...

      Undo the wiring (label!) then unbolt the head bolts, remove valve cover, replace all the rubber gaskets, and put cover back on.
      Pelican has a kit for like 22 dollars if I remember.

      Protip: DO NOT OVER TORQUE THE VALVE COVER BOLTS. YOU WILL. STRIP. THE HEAD.

            The head studs hold down the valve cover on bmw? What kind of stupid engineering is that
