when replacing valve cover gasket...(318)

[e36]

Hey wats up guys,

I'm looking to replace my valve cover gasket. I think its leaking.

I found the rubber gasket on bmwwholesale. Its about 20 bucks. What else should i change while at this? Also, is this an easy DIY? i really never tackled a job like this.

thanks,

mike

Im gonna attempt this DIY on my 328 M52. Its not really hard, just time consuming from what i hear. While your down there i reckon you might as well do the spark plugs if you havnt done them in a while.

PCV o-ring...apparently a common source of vaccuum and oil leaks...
