Good video, would be helpful to put why you would be doing this job at the start so people would know why they would need to do it, I have the dripping on to my exhaust and their is lots of smoke when I park up but you did explain this just at the end 🤦♂️ many thanks again 👍
Hi, nice video, Bmw use Castrol 5w30 M, has to be LL04 suitable for bmw, i prefer castrol because i have just tried synpower recommend by my colleague and i am here watching this video because have a slight leak now.
I get bad smell in the cabin too. I have done BMW diagnostics and they said oil injectors are leaking and the cover gasket needs replacing as it's also leaking. I don't seem to lose any oil so it must be small as I check oil levels regularly. How much would such job cost? I have been quoted 190 for injector seals and 180 for head cover gasket. Would this be enough to ensure it doesn't stink anymore? It's a great car apart from that.
I have smoke coming from back of engine every now and then can get bad sometimes i think the rocker cover gasket is leaking oil small amount over time and then it burns off so will need to look in getting it replaced. What mileage did you say is best to change oil at 1000 as that i thought every 2000 to 3000 was best.
@@Khushik7 I got a friend that works at garage to do mine in his spare time and cost £100 including the parts so i don't know how much a normal garage will charge you.
I have just replaced my rocker cover gasket and injectors. Hard to find torque value for injector hold down bolt. what n.m value did you torque the injector bolt to? if i may ask, fuel rail hold down bolts as well?

OK thankyou for your reply. I have just got my 730d bmw 2013. Put in new rocker rover gasket . All seem fine and good , but on one of the edge and the far top of the exhaust, there is like no dripping or anything put if I swipe my finger across the rocket cover I get like sweaty oil oil my finger, is this normal or somthing wrong the jobs been done by a professional and good job
True. Ireland can drop to -5 degrees in the morning so I tend to go with the lower viscosity base oil. But most folks I know run 5w30 in these without issue (albeit with regular oil changes).
@@Matik1717 thanks for your help. I found it online. Rocker cover is 9nm (following the required pattern). Injectors are 8nm followed by 26nm (so two stage tightening). Oh course, my crankcase ventilation pipe broke as usual, so need to pick one up this morning. Thanks again for your video. One aspect I found tough was getting the rocker cover off with the fuel delivery line still in place. Just took a bit of wranging, but got there in the end.
I have already changed the gasket of my N47, but it is still leaking. So now I want to change the cover too. Is there anything I need to be aware of when changing the cover or do I just exchange old for new?
Are you sure the valve cover is cracked ? Did you use 10Nm all round starting from the leaky corner 1st and then the other diagonal corner etc etc. You must clean both the head path and the cover path 100%...
@@Matik1717 I was at the BMW dealer and they told me these covers can deform from the heat. Although I didn't use a torque wrench, I surely tightened them enough and since it was leaking before and still is, a bad cover must be the reason, no?
@@thelonyous2268 well it could be a cracked head even you see. You must use the 10Nm of torque on every bolt working the bolts diagonally otherwise it will leak. My car has done quarter million miles and the cover is like new...
@@Matik1717 He didn't says it's cracked... he says still leaking so that's mean it's not straight like new one...because of engine heat old one is bend little bit. New one is perfectly flat.
How can you tell if just the gasket needs to be replaced or the whole cam cover? If the leak is in the corner near the exhaust. Are there any particular tests you can do so that you can change the gasket on not the whole cam cover.
If the gasket leaks oil you will be loosing 1L of oil per month or so. It will smell in the cabin badly. Will also smoke as the oil will drop onto the dpf below.
@@Matik1717 Thanks. I have a slow leak near the exhaust. I have added a litre of oil in 1 month. Would you advise just to change the gasket or does the cam cover need to be changed too?
If you've only touched the high pressure side, no need to bleed as the HPFP will be primed. If you change the filter, use the fuel bleeding service function in ISTA (or other tool). Loads of people disconnect the fuel hose at the filter instead of the connector further forward which has a one way valve to stop the fuel running out of the HPFP. Then fuel runs out of the pump and it takes loads of cranking to primeit, running the risk of lubrication issues.

Nice video bro. Keep all the good work!👍👍
Thanks bro xx
hello, what you think what is the main problem leaking oil on N57 on valve cover, I'm on 68.000 km F16
Must be rocker cover
@@Matik1717 yea, I think it was crunched from manuf. line.. or first owner drove at 3000-4000 rpm all the time.. less possible
I have just replaced my rocker cover gasket and injectors. Hard to find torque value for injector hold down bolt. what n.m value did you torque the injector bolt to? if i may ask, fuel rail hold down bolts as well?
Injectors were like 40nm and rail the same but double check on google buddy type n47 engine torque settings.
26Nm for the injectors clamp bolts

Should you oil the new rocker cover gasket befor inserting it

Great video. Obviously doing something right if it's at 250k miles.
The recommended oil is 0w30 though, right? With 5w30 as an alternative.
Yeah depends on the country you live in the climate 😉
True. Ireland can drop to -5 degrees in the morning so I tend to go with the lower viscosity base oil. But most folks I know run 5w30 in these without issue (albeit with regular oil changes).
Follow up question, you mentioned 16nm for the rocker cover screws. What torque do you use for the injector screws?
@@kingGar27 i dont remember to be fair there are some good forums and try google you will find it quick 😉 good luck 😉

Hi mate , I've got a leak will you be able to replace my gasket if I come to you?
Hi mate no sorry no time lol
Quick one do you need to bleed fuel system or its pumping air out itself
The pump will pump the fuel back in just keep the start button pressed and the clutch in ;) Pozdro ! Daj suba dzieki x
If you've only touched the high pressure side, no need to bleed as the HPFP will be primed. If you change the filter, use the fuel bleeding service function in ISTA (or other tool).

Then fuel runs out of the pump and it takes loads of cranking to primeit, running the risk of lubrication issues.
where are you based
Mcr but i cant work outside in winter lol 🙃 😅 😆
When you change the gasket do you have to change rocker cover as well or just the gasket
Just gasket buddy unless your cover ia cracked
@@Matik1717 ive been told by mechanic as rocker covers plastic when you trying to take out it might snap
