35d valve cover gasket replacement

hartwa · 10-31-2023, 06:54 PM

Hey guys ..hoping someone has done this and can help. I got the kit from TuneMyEuro and all is going well except 1 of the outside bolts that came with the kit is different than all the others. Where does it go? When I popped out the old ones i did not realize that 1 was different otherwise i would have kept track.

All the holes look the same???

Will this picture help a bit?

I think The one diverent bolt is on The cornor above the oilfiterhausing

I guess that bolt is nr 23

Also make sure that u use the correct torque and system.

Be carful at the inner corner above the oilfilter hausing ( nr 22) don’t screw The bolts to the right and left ( 18, 24, 23) in one time on torque. But make sure you screw them equal so The corner wont crack.

Thanks for the help. I was able to get it figured out. For the record...this solved my oil leak issue. When from 1 qt / 2000 miles (leak and burn) now to 1 qt / 4000 miles (no leaks just burn).

I would like to address the oil burn if I can. I place my hand over the oil cap while it is running and do not feel to much so I do not think it is really blow by. What else could it be?
