Title: Quick question - how many bolts on the valve cover?
Post by: adam12hicks on August 26, 2008, 07:22:44 PM

Sorry I don't have my car here.  I bought another valve cover and intake manifold that I'll either powder coat or BBQ spray paint and sand...

My question is on REAL OEM http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=AF93&mospid=47305&btnr=11_0264&hg=11&fg=15 (http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=AF93&mospid=47305&btnr=11_0264&hg=11&fg=15) parts 7,8 and 9 along with the main primary gasket will be replaced.  I don't know how many sets of 7, 8 and 9 I need to do it.  Can someone help a brother out?

Thanks!

There are 12 of the #'s you referenced, they are around the perimeter of the valve cover.  If you open your RealOEM link, there are also 2 part #6's that go in the valley between the cams.  The # 6's are shorter.
