If you have done them before, know what you are doing, and have all the tools ready to go... a valve cover gasket in 30 mins is very possible. __________________ SUPPORT 318ti.org!

And you don't drop anything. Bolt seals? Maybe I should have done those too.

I include all the bolt seals. __________________ SUPPORT 318ti.org! CLICK THE LINK ABOVE!

Good luck with the sale. | Next thing you know he'll be saying an oil change is an over night affair As BimmerBum also pointed out, 30min is possible. In fact, it should NOT take more then an hour. | | | 01-04-2009, 04:41 AM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 | Well let me go back and check my receipts. I bought the parts more than a year ago and i actually got it done a couple of months ago. The number i put in was rough since i didn't have the receipts with me when i posted the add. Lets not get into who can change a gasket the fastest. It has no point in my for sale thread. | | | 01-04-2009, 05:05 AM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Stamford, CT <-> Boston, MA Posts: 1,393 | You didn't say if it's Auto or 5-Spd in the CL ad, as well as cloth or leather interior, CD Player? Heated Seats, Cruise control etc. It'd definitely help sell your car faster.
