Hi, I am planning to change the valve cover gaskets on both covers. I am going to do it the factory way, meaning both turbos of.

What parts do I need besides the obvoius (gaskets and bolts) if the covers and hydraulic lifters are okay?
Will return with questions around the diy when so far..

Thanks!

exhaust seals, large and small for both sides.

At least a handful of studs for the turbos along with new nuts.

will probably need the clamps for the cats as they like to rust

thats probably about it.

Since you are going to remove the turbos, now would be a good time to install the upgraded oil line check valves from Kevin at UMW, while-you're-in-there. If you don't have them already.

thats an expensive WYIT

TurboKraft has the check valve kit for $460.00

$550ish and "free" labor. Seems like a no brainer.

eh my car doesn't smoke, so I'm not looking to spend $550 on that, but i guess if you have a chronic smoker its worth it.

Mine has 125K on it and has never smoked for more than 1 second (and thats probably condensation not oil) even if left for 8 weeks. Am I lucky? Standard oil lines on it

Depends when the the turbos were taken off last time too?

Recently did mine, last time turbos were out per my records were 2007. Basically nothing needed to be replaced.
