C32 Valve Cover Gasket

Are these the correct Gaskets? I've order parts for the C32 online only to get the wrong parts. Just want to make sure these are correct.

That should be it, the same one for all m112 motors. I'm about to do that job as well.

I desperately need to do mine as well. I was going to make my own, but for 30 bucks it hardly seems worth it.

Make Sure you find out the correct tightening sequence to prevent another leak. Do any of you have that I'd like to do this too.

Thanks everyone.

And Juan makes a good point. I'm not sure off hand what the tightening sequence is. I'll see if it's listed in All Data and if so I'll update.

See if you can do a photo diy if you can. I thought I had a serious leak, but I think it's just coming from one side of the valve covers.

Here's a diy for the m113 http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w210...er-gasket.html

Thanks Loundandheart

Also while I'm at it we're going to change out the spark plugs. I understand most here say the NGK's are the way to go but I try to keep everything as OEM as possible. (Not sure if the NGK's are OEM)

autohausaz lists the C32 OEM plugs as Boche 7407. Is this also correct?

Thanks Guys Can't wait to get this tune up done

Here's a thread from the crossfire guys. It seems like they are just doing the breather covers on top. It looks like you might be talking about the covers under the coil packs. Good info any way. They say the bolts are one use bolts and shouldn't be reused because they break easy.

Now that's good to know. And yes we are taking the covers off underneath the coil packs. I wasn't aware the bolts needed to be changed out, good to know. Any place online I can pick up the bolts?

The part number is in that thread (for the top cover bolts). They sourced them from MB and said they were only 2.50 a piece or something. Parts.com would probably have them.

Thanks I'll order those in. What I'm wondering though, is if the bolts for the cover under the coil packs are one time use also.
