Hi Folks,

I'll be replacing the valvetronic gasket on my 2.5si this weekend, could anyone confirm the torque settings for the 2 M6 x 16 Torx Head Screws please? I've searched and found the BMW Manual (the one with all the advertisements all over the place), and found what I think it is at 4Nm plus 90 degrees. Thanks a lot

From watching numerous you tube videos before I changed the rocker cover gasket and eccentric sensor, I also obviously had to remove the valvetronic motor. I just used a bit of common sense with tightening it back up , especially the lower bolt, which is awkward enough without involving a torque wrench. I never found anyone torquing to spec on the videos. You are just pinching the gasket to the motor so nip up sensibly is my answer . Not the answer I know you are looking for , but all seems fine with mine so far :D
