Valve cover gasket replacement help
 

Hey guys iam attempting to change both valve cover gaskets i have run into a few questions

When removing vanos motor how should it come out? With tension? I just removed the drivers side and it had force behind it.

also the dealer failed to install the oring properly which isnt a big deal

My ccv pipes have oil in them.
Diaphram looks ok but there is oil coming from mostly the drivers valve cover is there no pipe that goes onto the top of the 2 ccv caps?

I have to wait for tomaro, got to go out and buy female torx sockets

Pix

?

Stealership!

Merry christmas!!

nightmare trying to get the covers back on with the new spark plug tubes, new ones have a metal sleave the old ones dont

My trusty mechanic tried to put new tubes with aluminum covers on N62 while he was doing VCC but couldn't do it. Four got oily so I could only return 4 of them 30$/piece, ouch.

Finished, passenger side was eazier, i cracked the drvers valvecover a little bit though

Car ran like a cammed out big block for 5 seconds now its good

I got all 8 new tubes with sleeves instaledd, took forever

First time workin on a german v8

so it ran like a cammed out big block for 5 seconds at first start and the Yellow engine light on, idle good but hesitation when u hit gas and sputtering

disconnected battery, reconnected ---> runs really strong and smooth and good idles perfect, no weird sounds drives perfect

yellow engine light still on
disconnected battery will reconnect tomorrow morning to c if the light goes away

anyone have same problem with the engine light after valve cover gasket change?
