@@JimFab202I don’t really do any mechanic work at all but I’m trying to do this on my own just for the gasket, so it doesn’t actually have a plastic gasket it’s just a liquid seal ?
Top gasket usually goes bad simply due to age. It’s straight silicone, which over the years will get damaged and contaminated due to the engine oil and bypass gasses.

I have one of these coming up, appreciate you posting this.
What is the sequence sequence? Can you remove heads? Or valve cover bolts
Nice job. Can you point me in the direction for the valve cover gaskets...? Ty
You will need to use silicone for the sealer

@ that’s correct
Nice video, but what could cause top gasket damage in c230 Mercedes Benz v6

Nice Video Man! Lets see some 6.0 stuff!
Soon will have some 6.0 content coming up
What kind of silicone did you use to seal valve cover gasket? Permatex black is good?
I used an OE specific high torque silicone.
What tools did you use on the right side where there’s a little shield covering the last bolt?
I believe I used a 1/4 drive swivel attachment to be able to sneak it out.
@@JimFab202 did you take off the heat shield or what? I tried to work on mine the other day and the heat shield is such a bitch I gave up 😭
I was told by two mechanics that these engines do not have valve cover gaskets. Is that true?
That is true. The valve cover gasket just consists of a solid silicone bead around the mating surfaces.
how much torque do they carry
Torque on valve covers is 12 Nm + 90 degrees
Did it really take 12 hours?
Close to it
My fucking guy. Wish you owned and could keep some videos coming
I’ll try to upload as much as I can! Thanks for the support!
He never showed how to take the valve cover off😮
I believe it’s shown somewhere around the 7:40 mark, I could be wrong though
Incomplete video does not show how to install the valve cover gasket with or without gasket sealant etc etc 👎
