Valvecover gasket

has anyone here replaced their valve cover gaskets? if so do you have part numbers or diy info? I couldn't find a valve cover gasket online.

replaced my spark plugs today and noticed some leakage from the valve covers. hoping to do this fix soon.

Can anyone confirm the torque specs for the valve cover bolts? M156 says 10nm not sure of this applies also with the M177?

FCPEuro has the application gun and gasket liquid.

as far as torque specs and steps I’d get WIS.

******This should go without saying but please make sure both of the mating surfaces are absolutely spotless and clean of old residue and *especially* oil or you will be doing the job again. Use a good quality scraper, and once all of the residue is gone, use mineral spirits or something to make sure the surface is absolutely oil free so the gasket liquid bonds properly and cures. Follow WIS instructions on torque specs, etc..

Most older motors just had cork gaskets with some kind of sealant, or nicer material Fel-Pro type gasket material which was rubbery in texture and very resistant to thermal cycling and exposure to oil, etc.. Gasket liquid works fine, but requires decent prep and a decently steady hand so as to not make a mess or waste material, etc..

If the job is done right, it will probably never have to be done again assuming nothing internal breaks, etc.. The good quality gasket liquid is impressive in performance but does require a bit more prep to do a proper job in my experience.

Good luck with the job, mebbe post a pic or two if possible.
