Changing Rocker Cover Gasket and what else? E85 N46 2.0i

Hi All,

I am changing Rocker Cover Gasket. Do I need to change anything else while I'm there?

I bought Erling Rocker Gasket and Elring Dirko HT Black Silicone Sealant.

If I could get an advice of what else I should look to change, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

I always use Blue Hylomar sealant and use an Elring gasket set that includes the round rubber seals that fit under the cover bolts never use the old ones they go hard like the gaskets and don't compress enough to seal correctly. Hylomar only used around the half moon shapes at front and rear of the cover where gasket changes direction
