Haha, true, not overly worried things will fall off but but a tad frustrating for sure. Hopefully gaskets and bolts/grommets can be reused.

I had to push really hard against the cover and pushed the clips pretty hard before they all clicked into place. |

Anyone have an idea whether resuing one month old gaskets and grommits should be ok? Guess will be up to the shop but don't want to mess about more than needed. After all he was one of few who accepted the job. |

While on topic, I somehow ordered two bank 2 gaskets first go around in August and didn't find out til everything was apart. So I cleaned up and threw my 155k mile bank 1 gasket back on and it survived another two months til I put the Slon covers on. |

I'm definitely going to take pictures for reference when I get around to doing this.

Did you replace the plug tubes first round and reused as well? Assuming lubed properly prior seating they should survive... Oh, and what about the timing metall gasket, new or reused? Last edited by Helmsman; 12-22-2021 at 04:41 AM.. |

I did replace the U gaskets on the vanos though, for 11 bucks each it's good peace of mind. The little blue gasket sealer on there is important to stop leaks.

Also. For the guys installing themselves, I would highly I would highly recommend turning the motor by hand (36mm with a big 1/2 ratchet) as you are installing these. I had two areas where they weren't fully seated but it didn't know about it until the gear turned over.
I second guessed myself on the first two covers I clipped on and found one more section not fully seated. You can remove the little half moon vanos cover to check things out without removing the whole valve cover. Pic for reference

I also replaced the metal gasket like Move Over did, kind of like a crush gasket and didn't wanna chance it leaking. |

Also good input on new timing gasket (+ Ajolives), got it. And it wasn't an issue to get the timing cover to seal back on top gasket (incl drei bond)? |

And yes I'm the same Alex on IG/Facebook. Let me reiterate though, the vanos caps cannot be changed without removing the valve covers. I only removed the lower drivers vanos cover after I spun the motor on the passenger side to find 2 clips not fully seated. After I pulled that lower cover off I found one clip not fully seated on the driver side, so I'm glad I did. But yes, your shop should not have to pull the valve covers to check.
