Ok so my wife is taking a business trip at the end of february and I'm going to tear into my 01 3.0 x5 as its got 139k on it now and I want to fix a couple oil leaks.
I've already done the serpentine belt and plugs.
I intend to do the valve cover gasket and the oil filter housing o-ring/gasket thingy.
while I've got it torn down whats some other things I should seriously think about just going on ahead and replacing? I keep reading about the ccv but no clue if I should just leave it be or swap it out since I'll have the engine torn down.
gonna inspect the front cv boots once it warms back up and replace those if need be as well.
I'm also tearing out the seats/center console so I can pull the carpet out and let it dry properly after I reseal the vapor barrier on the right rear door. anything else to look to do inside while I have it all torn out? while the interior is out I'm putting in a double din head unit with backup camera and going to wire in a factory sub to an aftermarket amp.
I'm also pulling the back brakes back apart as I didnt add enough antisqueal and they chirp ever so slightly in stop/go traffic and it just eats me up
