In this video, I let a long time subscriber replace my valve cover gasket and oil filter housing gasket. We had talked for a couple years via Facebook and Instagram and I felt confident that he wasn't a serial killer.

Both gaskets were purchased from www.fcpeuro.com

My thoughts on these two jobs:

OIL FILTER HOUSING GASKET
This one was actually pretty simple. Had we not been filming, we could have knocked this out in an hour. If you can change the oil on your car, you can change this gasket.

VALVE COVER GASKET
This took 8 hours including filming and a couple trips to Autozone. The aluminum bolts are extremely fragile. We broke two before realizing his torque wrench was slightly out of calibration (yeah, it's that sensitive). disconnecting the fuel rail might be intimidating for some since a little bit of gasoline will leak out. The valve cover itself it in a tight spot and it's like a puzzle getting it out and back in. There are a lot of tedious steps, but with a Bentley Service Manual and a full day (or two) to work, most intermediate to advanced DIYers should be able to figure this one out.
