E55 valve cover gaskets

[smoothcoupe]

Hi all. The gaskets on my 2003 e55k are weeping slightly I can smell oil burning from os after a good run. I am in west yorkshire can any one recommend some one to do this for me. And how much would it cost.. I am in the parts buisiness so it would be labour only. Cheers.

It is around two hours labour.

...or a sunday mornings work, hardest part is getting all the old gasket material off, and remember not to drop any into the valve area as they can block the return holes.#

MSL are the only ones i know up birmingham, there may be more nearer to you.

Good guide here DIY Valve Cover Gaskets, Plugs, and Plug Wires - MBWorld.org Forums and further info here Need Assistance - Valve Cover Gasket DIY - MBWorld.org Forums

I was thinking of doing this on mine as can start to see some seeping. Gaskets £18 each side from MB for mine and you will need some RTV sealant for the top vent cover.
