@@Thejdmmuscle what, really? I ordered Thursday and it arrived next day from local dealership as a kit (valve cover driver side, 26 bolts, 2 gaskets). Just removed mine and its not cracked but putting the new one anyway (gasket was deformed). Two bolts even with a swivel are really difficult to remove.
@@justinwan5986 Yeah when I originally made this video they were 8 months out. And I had just noticed they were available finally! Good Luck on the install
@@Thejdmmuscle thanks man, you too. Just finished and smoke finally stopped, so looks good. Thank you again and good luck with your install, crazy that it was backordered for so long.
So is the a bolt pattern you have to follow when putting the cover back on?There was another TH-camr who talks about how important the bolt pattern is but Dosent show how it’s done in his videos
You’re right there is probably an exact bolt pattern which I could not find. So I just kind of jumped around where I thought I could get it to seat the best possible!
@@Thejdmmuscle How’s it been holding up so far.Im doing this job on the driver side next weekend.If I can’t find the factory bolt pattern I’m gonna do cross pattern kind of like you did.Thanks for the video,I think your video is the only one out there showing how to do both sides.
@@totophandhamaly9944 So far its working well. But its an easy install, hard to reach the back bolts without the proper extension and head piece. But with a little patience you can save alot of money doing it yourself. My first one had cracked on the back corner and was leaking oil all over my headers.
Great video mate. Just wanted to watch a few videos b4 I start mine , I love 9:09 looking forward to your next video 😊thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the feed back, these are the responses I love to hear!!!
Thanks, doing this on my black c 63, great job showing all the steps 👍
Thank you, it was such a pain in the butt trying to find spots to put the camera!
My c63 is leaking oil giving out burning smell. I need to check to see if the leak is coming from the valve cover
I would start there and track down where you think it’s leaking from!
Tackling it today, thank you
Youre welcome, so funny 1 year later and my valve cover just came in. So I have to tackle the drivers side later today as well!

@@justinwan5986 Congrats, and agh the smoke is so embarrassing!
Did you happen to put sealant on the gasket?
I did not, I read some places say to add it an some did not!

The left hand side is hell to get back in. This video is not very detailed
Very informative,mine threw a code because of the covers :(
That sucks, what a inconvenience
What code?
No rtv ?
My local benz mechanic told me he does not apply rtv on the Valve cover. So far I have had zero leakage issues!
