Does anyone knows what's the appropriate gap for spark plugs? 2010 x5 4.8

Oil Thermostat Gasket
Reading the tips and tricks, I see you did this repair from the top of the engine blind. Did you remove the alternator to get in there? I also have adaptive drive, how much harder does it make for access?

It is a ventilation hose but I think it might be for the transmission. I may be wrong but my memory says transmission.

Can anyone share some info on the brake booster hose and where it connects to I will ofcourse purchase a new one . Trying to understand why after so much engine work done VSS etc spark plugs. I'm still getting 9.5 mpg on the computer idrive and cluster ... first I will start with this Mickey Mouse nipple they put on my brake booster

Where does the real hose go and where does it stop

2008 x5 4.8 103,xxx miles

Did you pull out your Vanos Solenoids? if so you need to change the inner gasket which seems it between the time cover, and the Vanes chamber inside the block. The outer big rings don't matter so much if they are not leaking but the inner ones flatten out and leak, causing you to lose pressure to your vanes.

Vacuum hose:

Vacuum pump:

Side note there's a pretty cheap rebuild kit for that vacuum pump. I bought mine from BMP Designs (I can't find the link though so they may have closed up), but there's plenty of eBay sellers, or some have just measured and purchased from Harbor Freight. I'm assuming yours was leaking at some point with all that RTV...
