Per my previous DIY, I made the double mistake of NOT re-sealing the Breather Covers. Since, aparently, these are one of the prime causes of Leakes in the valve cover region. Not a huge deal.... because you can perform the procedure Either with the Valve Covers ON or OFF the Engine. This post is with the Covers ON the Head. A few words of Caution: ONLY use the Specified Sealant. On the W210 site, there are several folks who tried other material (including well-know German brands), only to have them Re-Leak. During removal of the OLD Sealant, you can either use a chemical Gasket remover (the Type Specified in WIS is NOT available in the USA, nor was there a M-B Ordering#), or a Non-Scratching/Non-Abrasive method, as I did using a plastic wedge, and my fingers. You *MUST NOT GET EITHER THE OLD, OR THE NEW SEALANT INTO THE BREATHER AREAS*, otherwise you might plug one of the tiny Oil Drain Holes. Also, you must purchase New Aluminum Screws.

DUTCH - 2/6/2015 6:48 AM Great writeup! Is that sealant the same stuff that is used on the lower oil pan? I'm pretty sure it is.... as well as the Timing Cover Sealing material. | ||
