Hi i am just about to replace my valve cover gasket . I would think that its a job most of you guys have done on you W124 M103 engines . Only asking what type of gasket is the best one to use . I am spoiled for choice. Payen, Elring, and some i have never come across before .Any one done it...

I have never been happy with the Mercedes inlet gaskets, and the fact they are use once, having had to remove my inlets on 3 occasions recently for one reason or another, was looking for an alternative solution, even lazer cut stainless, in the end opted for reusing my merc gaskets and a product...

Hi all We have a w208 with M112 engine (320) It has an oil leak from the valve or breather covers on both sides of the engine. Left bank is damp the other has turned like Niagra falls I'm due to do this job tomorrow. I have the gaskets for the Rocker covers from ECP. Elring branded...

I ordered, amongst other items, a head gasket from an on-line seller recently. Unusually I was at home when the delivery arrived, unfortunately the packaging was clearly damaged being S-shaped! I felt that fitting a head gasket that had been subjected to that would not be fit for purpose so...

A question for you propeller heads... 10k miles ago I had the rocker gaskets replaced on my 4.4 X5 V8... they are now leaking again at the back both sides... I have called BMW and they say parts are covered for 2 years... i called the garage that did them and they are saying they'll look at them...

All, I have a question to ask. I have notice some small leaks on the drivers side coming from, what I think it is, a valve cover gasket. It is not massive but the leaked oil drops from time to time on the exhaust manifold and that makes me uneasy. In addition, there is a very long trip ahead...

Any members know where i can get rocker cover gaskets for W163 (52 plate ML320). Also want to clean or replace the oil breathers that i believe are underneath the rocker cover - is this a DIY job? Thanks in advance

I have a 1998 E320 V6 petrol and on the way home from a meeting it blew the bottom radiator hose off and emptied the cooling system contents because the jubilee clip had failed / broken. The RAC guy put the hose back for me but on start up thought the car had a lot of steam / water vapour coming...

We have had a busy couple of weeks doing a pair of head gaskets on the above car. Absolute mammouth job that was completed yesterday. The engine had all new seals gaskets and a new engine wiring loom to boot. Parts availabilty was a nightmare and most bits were back ordered so we took the...

Damn Damn Damn, I knew the engine didn't sound quite right the last few days. Washed the car today and checked the fluid levels and sure enough, the header tank full to the brim with a creamy caramelised gunk. I guess the only good thing is that the oil in the engine isn't contaminated...
