Hey all,
Replaced both valve covers, tubes, sparks and coils. No regrets I went this way. I used FCP euro so if they leak again, lifetime warranty! Id recommend going this route when yours leak.

Do the upper timing cover gaskets while you have the valve covers off. They tend to leak at the same time, or shortly after removing the valve covers. They are really cheap and it adds 10 minutes to the job

No. Im supercharged so you have to take the plenum off to get to all these parts. Not worth the hassle for me.

Difficulty level for removing oil separators
How hard is it to replace the two oil separators on an E9X M3 S65? My local shop wanted $960 to do this but I'm seeing $206 total in OEM oil separators from partscontainer on eBay, two 11157838370 gaskets for the oil separators at $25 total and another $8 in screws (M6x16) replacement (if even needed?) for a total parts outlay of $239. What I don't know is how difficult it is to change out the two oil separators on the S65 engine? Does anybody have a DIY and an estimated time to replace two oil separators?

My engine looedk a lot worst than the one in the picture.. I just replaced my valve cover gaskets a month ago.. I didn't replace the valve covers since they are so expensive.. I did get them powder coated though since the coating was peeling so bad and It was probably causing some of the leak..

Can you elaborate on this diy? What is the Torque to reinstall, are new bolts best practice? Are there any other gaskets required to replace before reinstalling? Thanks!
