And that the cost would be cheaper if I were to source the parts needed myself. Any one stop shop to get the required stuff? . So my question is;What else would require replacing while the head is off? Vanos?At the moment the head gasket needs replacement. Oil is leaking all over the place, in the plugs, out the head, oh my god.Another thing, referring to the below diagram<img src="http://www.realoem.com/bmw/diagrams/c/n/7.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />If I'm not mistaken, that hose (item 1-5) goes to the intake just after the throttle body. While getting the belts changed the other day, I noticed the throttle body hose is a little oily. Mechanic said its the oil from the head, thanks to the shot gasket little bits of oil is getting in the intake system. Is there anything I should get done to clean up the intake system?Thanks a bunch sifu's and guru's!</p></blockquote><p></p>
