Was changing spark plugs and one of them had some oil on end so going to change the valve cover gasket and grommets. Question is what are these (2 of them) that were under the air intake? On One of them the gasket stuck and came off when pulled off the air intake. Are these supposed to be on the the valve cover or stuck to inside of air intake?
They look like the rubber seals that the crossover pipe goes into. theres two holes where they should fit in toward the back of the engine. Wish I saw this earlier because I had all this off today and could've checked for sure and taken pics
I youtubed a video by Mr Andy called Valve Cover Gasket Replacement on W202 and he just calls them seals, but on his 280 he doesn't have those "things" that stick up out of them like my C36? Anyway my seals if that's what they are called are worn out and like I mentioned before one of them stuck to my intake when I removed it, but can't find replacement part because I don't know exactly what they are called. Found gasket kit and grommets on Pelicanparts, but no luck on things pictured above.
Bump,
I found the the seals part which are called Valve Cover Gasket Breathers part #104-016-09-80-M22 (picture below), but I was at the dealer today and he couldn't tell me what the parts sticking up are as the seals on these which connect to part number I just mentioned are tore up.
Valve cover to cylinder head gasket kit=104 010 21 30 plus two of 104 016 09 80
Thanks Plutoe for effort but I have both of those parts. The 104 016 09 80 x 2 doesn't come with those pieces that stick up in intake manifold. I doubt it's the end of the world to have new ones I'll just gasket seal the old ones back on the new seals mentioned above.
