Operation: Disassembly of the BMW 3 Series head gasket.

Today's guide will show us the main steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the gasket of the BMW 3 Series cylinder head. First, we open the engine hood and start disassembling and removing the valve cover by unscrewing the fixing screws located on the sides. Then, we separate the distribution cover from the cylinder head, also disconnecting the timing chain, as shown in the video. At this point, we unscrew all the cylinder head screws, removing and replacing the gasket with the new one (after performing a specific cleaning). Then, we reassemble everything!
