Tipping away today on the e36 and went to change the plugs and seems to be a lot of oil on plugs 1-3 and plug 4 is bone dry.? Is this the seal in need of a change or is it worse.?

Rocker cover gasket. Make sure to get the figure 8 gaskets on he inside too, thats you main issue there ;)
Should be the rocker cover/plug/bolt seals. Just replaced mine at 100k, good to get it done. I think (not 100%) it's 39 euro for the gasket set :)
Thanks lads :) anything else that I should do while I'm at it.?
What engine is it?
318is.. In process of lookin at a m50 so don't want to put to much into it if I go for the swap ;)Quote:

I'm no expert in anyway by the way, just relaying what the more knowledgeable folks' have advised ;)
On a side note, fantastic wheels you picked up there. Are they the Azevs that were for sale on dd/adverts very recently?
Thanks man I'll do that so while I'm going at it get it all done in the one go :wink: am yeah the Azevs are nice I was mad for a set of them since I picked up the e36. Yeah a lad here in Kerry had them on dd about a month r 2 ago.? Kinda new him so I got him to hang onto them until I had the spare cash :cool:Quote:
