If memory serves, BMW has you use rtv sealant in that area anyway when you pull the heads as I remember having to use some there.
Did you have a chance to borescope your cylinders to ensure no piston/valve damage?

Yea, im trying to avoid the cylinder head removal at all cost. Current job is already kicking my ass.
I forgot to scope the cylinder after i had removed the sprockets already. I would assume its ok as the timing was in full retard , which is at its cam limit.
