Is it my imagination or are you much happier now that you're on the road. You seem to have a lot more pep in your step, a positive attitude and basically seem to be enjoying your work and life more as a mobile mechanic than you were when you had your shop. You even look healthier. Bad things happening to you in life can often lead to better things which you weren’t expecting.
Watched this probably 5 times before attempting the job. And another few times while doing it. All went great. Car started up and ran perfectly! Many thanks for a great video.
I watched all you videos in 3 days. I love it! I feel more confident! Right tools are a must! Get yourself a van to do mobile service you can make a killing. Dont be afraid to charge more.
After looking for days, this is, by far, the best gasket change show found. Very good work !! BTW, what's really helpful, is your comments about diagnosing, guessing, checking and validating your suspicions; from customer complaint to bad work done before. You rock man !!
Wow , this was a proper tutorial on how to actually do this valve cover gasket with torque specs included and thanks for showing the valvetronic motor reset
You are an outstanding mechanic. I watched this video a couple of times during my valve cover and oil cooler gasket replacements. Awesome explanation and video. THANK YOU!
Hey, having something good to watch from a good content provider is awesome. Thank you! I just did valve cover gaskets on a 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor 3.8L for a burning smell complaint, too. Same thing...Oil running down on the cat.
Your quality of work is outstanding. I know you’re not a shade tree mechanic but for those of us who are, you give us who too take pride in their work work a good name. I ALWAYS do work on someone else’s car as if it were my own. If I wouldn’t do it to my cars, I won’t do it to theirs. Great work brother!
I wish every mechanic was as devout as you. No short cuts in your job. Your speech is so clear and understand able I am learning new words from your videos every time. Thanks for sharing 👍. Super video.
Bro you are still the best ...coming a 15 yr mechanic with his own shop I can tell a great mechanic with his own and his language (simple and clear),,,,: May be it was a blessing that you left the shop ...Coronavirus everything is closed many shops around are suffering through this mess..God bless and keep you head high ...

I found your channel when you were closing your shop, I subbed then and you have a life long subscriber now, keep up the good work. Also I let all the commercials play out so you can get paid.
Just paid $500 to have mine replaced on my BMW 528i 2014. After watching this video, I’d say it was worth it. So much stuff to take off and watch out for. If I done this myself it would’ve taken a couple days easily and I’d probably screw something up along the way. Great video.
Thanks to your amazing video I did my 2008 528i Everything went so smoothly that after all work was done I couldn’t believe I did it. I even replace spark plugs . Thanks again.
Thank you for letting us that car . Close ups are nice too. Specially the close ups. Where the image feels like. Three inches infront of you. Those images are awesome.
Very good repair and if some hadn't noticed, you did use a vacuum to clean out the hole that needed taping. I have to say, how disgusting for the previous mechanic to have simply said to himself "No way I'm taking this apart again" to correct his mistake with the wiring loom. Secondly, all of the grey silicone isn't part of the OEM repair process. Also, good idea on the new bolts, hadn't thought of that before but when you said they are an aluminum alloy, it made much sense. Owner should be happy with the new cabin filters. Too bad the owner isn't that tidy with his vehicle interior. Thanks for showing us your talent...great job.
With my recently acquired 525i, I noticed burnt oil sitting in that tray, or whatever it is, below the cat converter. I just figured it was remnants of maintenance long past. However, with taking the car in for safety recall for the PCV valve, they told me about a leaking valve cover gasket, along with a $1.7k estimate for the work. Bwahahahaha! Nope. I'll be doing it myself. Thanks 💯 for this quick tutorial, since I wasn't sure about that valvetronic motor. 😊
have you found any guidance would be help to distinguish what is causing the check engine lights on that GTR? I'm not going to pretend that I am smart in tuning but up 90% of cars I had in the past was a lack of fuel pressure and because the remap of engine software they extended lower/ upper limits so you won't find any dtc's check this out , I solved it without scanner just casual checks fuel pressure etc...... czcams.com/video/JIzJmZ3xQhw/video.html
Excellent video...mine was a little different... the magnet was a good tip. Getting the clips out without loosing one is an accomplishment and not hearing plastic snap is always an accomplisment ;-)
De tantos vídeos que e mirado para hacer este trabajo el tuyo es el mejor y bien explicado ya que todos los demas no mencionan lo principal que es la manera de husar el torquimetro 💯👍
I watched the whole video and I don't even own a BMW. great work
Ditto
same lol
yah same here i never gona buy 1 but i still watched the the whole video haha
It doesn't matter what this guy's fixes......it's his methodology that is so mesmerizing.
You have one of the best automotive channels even when some of your videos are not in the shop. Good job!!!
Thank you so much!
I’m glad you’re back and recording your work thanks Erick perfect for this quarantine,

"Don't be afraid to charge more"... Spoken like a true fly by night mobile mechanic who can't figure out why his businesses never succeed.

This video is helpful on every level possible. Just bought my first BMW and I have zero concern about doing this job. Thank you so much!
The amount of details you provide is amazing, thank you!

Sweet shop air! Glad you're hanging in there!
Another great repair. Glad you are still making videos.
Thank you for being a consciences professional. very enlightened.
I watched many video's of this repair because i have to do this on my car. This is the best DIY by far. Thanks!
Just paid $500 to have mine replaced on my BMW 528i 2014. After watching this video, I’d say it was worth it. So much stuff to take off and watch out for. If I done this myself it would’ve taken a couple days easily and I’d probably screw something up along the way. Great video.
NICE TO SEE U AGAIN.......THANK U FOR THE TIME U TOOK TO RECORD IT.....STAY SAFE....
Yeah !!!Glad to see you are back.....even under the 'shade tree' .....still doing great videos. Thanks.
glad to see you back , wish you all the best
I really respect a guy that knows how to drive a torque wrench and cares enough to get it out of the tool box.
Nice job Eric straight forward and good explanation. Bmw hates aftermarket valve covers from what I’ve seen too. Thanks for sharing
Professional mechanic. No shortcuts
Cool video. I really like how you go step by step and into detail.
Thanks for that 👍

EXcellent thorough work Eric! You fixed all the crappy errors by former crappy mechanic.
