The rubber grommets at the valve cover bolts will be brittle and will break. The pieces can fall into the engine and cause major damage so make sure you have and find all the pieces. Use new bolts. Don’t reuse the old ones. Also it’s only about 30 minutes of extra time on each side to replace the timing covers. I recommend you do those too. Also the bolts for the valve covers are different sizes so pay attention. Long bolts go on top. Short ones on the bottom. Good idea to replace all o-rings you come across.

Thanks for the pointers man. I will take my time and be very careful with everything. I’m so use to working on Honda’s and Toyota’s. Bmws are a whole different animal. Let me ask u this. How long time wise did it take to replacing the valve covers ? Thanks again
