As for seals, I did not see them leak this time. (but some work was done in that area already)

How many hours you spent to get all this done? Good job bro

It took me three evenings, about 12-14 hrs. I additionally replaced all spark plugs and filters, sealed Air Pump and cleaned the bay a little. I spent about an hr. trying to figure out the Vanos Actuator thinking I messed something up (while removing them). Time listed also includes driving to a local dealer to pickup a wrong gasket.

Finally, I had to deal with night and 32 degree weather when finishing the car. This sucked but, next day the temp was in the teens and my A4 does not have heated seats. lol
