Outstanding! Just on this simple to follow video alone I will be appempting this very procedure on my 320i n43 this weekend. Very informative and straight forward. Musics decent too 😂.... Thanks and keep up the good work 👊🏽😎
Thanks for the making the video. Gave me a confidence boost.
I shouldnt complain when someone take there time to do something that help others but a video filmed more from above and on the actual thing you work with not moving around all the time would have helped me as a newbie. Besides that, thx
I agree. Could have been better. May be next time
Excellent tutorial. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the video, made the job a lot less daunting.
You’re welcome
Thank you soo much❤🇹🇷
Thank you boss 🙏
Hi nas, many thanks for the vid! In Haynes manual it says to remove the injectors, but I would like to avoid that so I don't have to compress the sealing rings on them. Could you dismount the rocker cover easily without removing injectors? - or is there a trick?
When removing the High Pressure Fuel Pump, does the camshaft have to be a certain position... (e.g. Top dead Centre)?
No
Hi, good guide thanks. Got to the point of removing the injector plugs but can't work out how to unlock the high pressure fuel pump connector. It's got to be really simple but cannot do it. Any tips please? Thanks
Just put a spanner on it. It comes undone easy. 14mm I think. Except for one which 17mm
@@nas205 hi Nas, sorry probably didn't explain it. I mean the wires to the high pressure fuel pump. There is a plastic clip on connector with 2 wires. Can't get it to release.

Try prying it with a small screw driver and it should come off.
@@nas205 cheers, will give it another go when it is dryer 👍
Just got it done and no more.smoke in the cabin👍 that bloody connector didn't come off so left the fuel rail in the car on a towel.
Thanks for the guide 👍
when you put new gasket in, do you use any glue or sealant agent? how do you clean the seating surface? any chemicals do you use in this job?
qitian zhang
No glue or sealant needed as it’s rubber gasket. Best is to buy from the dealers
@@nas205 how long did it take you to do the whole job? i m plan to replace the valve cover with new gasket by a shop , don't know what is the reasonable time for them to do it.
qitian zhang i would say around 2 1/2 hours
@@nas205 thanks for the reply
Do you have to buy new bolts for the rocker gover, are the original ones single use only?
Kev Cat No o mate. Old ones sty on the rocket cover and they are fine. Toque it 10nm
@@nas205 Thanks for the info! I have the same N43. Doing a bit of work at the moment. Have some videos if you wanna check them out
How much oil leaks from the gasket? I was told it's a VERY small amount. Mines lost over a litre in 2 months. Is it the gasket or a more serious issue, maybe oil leaking into the engine?
If it’s the gasket you’ll get smoke coming into the car
hi i may need to replace my rocker cover too, i am 80% sure is the PCV valve failed but has to replace the complete rocker cover. how much did you pay for the complete new cover? and where did you buy it from? I am living in Finland by the way.
qitian zhang
Only changed the gasket
What were the symptoms of the bad PCV valve? I have engine oil in my pollen filter and wondering if it's a bad PCV
@@kevcat8655 You see my video czcams.com/video/yOGo4lRGy18/video.html , i think it is problem of PCV valve. But I never see other mentioned oil in pollen filter as a symptom.
@@qitianzhang3641 Watching it now, will comment
Hi, how much it cost to buy the gasket from the dealers?
Thanks for the video BTW.
35 quid
