#1. RE: gasket sealer - from Lawrence J. Barbieri
Top
Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2007 21:39:53 -0500 From: "Lawrence J. Barbieri" <larry@logicalconclusions.com> Subject: RE: gasket sealer Gasket sealer is needed, as Kim states, at the half rounds and basically any place there are two metal parts meeting, like up front where the Vanos contacts the head. The Permatex anaerobic sealer I specified with the earlier link is red and does not become hard and brittle. After I did my head gasket this summer the valve cover gasket, somehow, didn't seat quite right. It was leaking enough to make the under side of the car wet with oil. I took it to my local shop and had them redo the valve cover gasket. At that time I noticed the red sealer and asked what it was. My valve cover gasket is perfect now and I do not have a single drop of oil leaking from my car now. Next time I have to do this job, the Permatex anaerobic sealer is what I will use.

Also a drop should be applied at the VANOS assembly seam - both ends. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BG93&mospid=47488&btnr=11_ 1480&hg=11&fg=15 The 'stuff' BMW uses is or becomes hard (almost brittle) maybe someone can identify the correct sealant for this application.

I read the online DIY which said it could be twiggled out without removing the steering wheel, but gol-dang if I can do that. Has anyone been able to?

Has anyone > been able to? Yep, multiple times. Take it out to the right, toward the center of the car. It's a VERY tight fit, requires a bit of wiggling (swearing optional :-)), and don't be afraid to compress the dash a bit if necessary. There's only one way to tilt/tip the cluster to get it in and out, just gotta find the "sweet spot". Good luck, Jim Bassett 1998 M3/4 1993 325is #44 JP
