The other repairs were necessary so as to not soak the belt drive system and throw a belt, which on an N52 can then get ingested through the crank seal and destroy the engine.  Oil was being flung all over the engine bay prior to the repair. |
Yeah after I'm finished, I will have done the upper and lower oil pan gaskets, oil filter housing gasket, oil level sensor gasket, dipstick o-rings, alternator bracket gasket, oil cooler O-rings, upper timing cover gaskets, vanos solenoid O-rings, vacuum pump O-ring, valve cover gaskets, valvetronic actuator seals, valvetronic cam sensor seals, spark plug tubes, and all power steering lines and reservoir. I'm just waiting for the lower timing cover gasket to start leaking and I'll have to do most of that all over again
