Thanks for advice guys! The best I can remember, last time I either used Felpro or bmw gasket. I know it's a small job, but between million projects, I'm really tired of doing jobs twice. I just did 2 VCGs on E39 M5 and M54 is a lot easier for sure...but I already almost live in the garage with those 3 bmws lol! I would like to avoid doing the same jobs this often.
I've already tried the regular gasket, so maybe it's time to try something different.
M56+viton is something I haven't tried, plus it takes care of the ccv system.

Effduration, seems like you've done the conversion,
Would you say this kit has everything in it that's needed?
