High Mark thanks for that. I think you're right. A BMW senior technician said nine times out of 10 you can just change the gasket, Which is what I'm having done.
A general mechanic told me if the cover is warped you need to replace it. We're not talking cylinder heads here, so can't see how...
Now then now then :D well while we're at it I wonder how much the rocker box cover cost from BMW in the UK. I think it has the gasket built in but not sure on that
Thanks for your reply my quote was £770 for the new rocker box cover with the gasket built in and all genuine parts.
I wonder what the main dealer would charge. Rich
Hi again I should have added this to my original post.
I also have a oil leak into one of my spark plugs and need a new rocker box cover can anyone enlighten me to the costs involved main dealer vs independent thanks everyone.
Good afternoon everybody I wonder if you can help me I have a oil leak on my oil filter housing running down the front of the block and contaminating the belt and alternator what kind of money is it to have it done in a BMW garage verse an independent.
Cheers
