- W163 ML350 valve cover gasket replacement for both driver and passenger sides plus breather cover gaskets resealed and EGR valve cleaned. Old perished vacuum hoses in the ventilation replaced and now the ML runs 10 times better than before!
Thank you very much for this video. Following your instructions I was able to replace one of the gaskets in my ML350. Great videos!
Only need 4NM on the small bolts on the PCV cover! Also, they are one-use aluminum bolts. Don’t reuse them because they can break. Always replace them. The other bolts should be tightened to 8.8NM. They can be reused. Thanks.
Thank you for all you W163 videos, there are a great DIY catalog to keep. Will come on very handy with my black ML320!
New word of the day perished
Good job, like your step by step way, Ive got one of these jobs incoming so Im documenting ahead ) btw good idea, and something I plan to, also clean the manifold/TB while you're at it
btw no need to label/worry about the coils, they are all the same, you can swap them around no issue, just remember the a/b wires
oh man on the subject, ur coil wires on the passenger bank, cyl1 are wrong, upper cable goes to the right, lower cable goes to the left, engine will run with them wrong, but you know .. switch please :)
How long for RTV to set . and what is RTV , I'm a novice just learning .
Great Video 👍
how many valve stem seals I need for my V8 ML 55
Hey friend , quick question, I have the same car as ur working on ML320 do I need to empty out my oil before I start loosening the bolts for the valve cover ?? ❓
@eyeando7356 no bud, you are working on the top so need to drop the oil but make sure you vaccum the area before removing the valve covers. Once they are open then you gotta make sure no dirt goes in your engine.

Very very helpful. Thank you very much for the great demonstration
You are very welcome. I am glad it was helpful for you.
A mechanic changed both of my gaskets and now a check engine light and burning smell have been coming from my car. Any idea as to why?
My guess would be, intake/ throttle body not seating properly! Burning smell is most likely oil that probably got spilled on your manifolds during the gasket replacement. I would check with a mirror to see if the intake or throttle body are seated properly and hopefully once the oil is burned off your headers, there won't be any more smell. Hope it helps. Cheers
