last weekend i did the valve cover gasket. no more smelly in my cabin ! :-)
now today....time to clean off the engine, then do all my tensioners while i repare my oil filter housing gasket.
I'm so into doing it, but god i've got a chest cold and just not so into doing it. uggg.
hopefully i'll keep my head together and find all the torque specs and do those right. that's all i'm concerned with.

- torque values on:

vanos line to oil filter housing (looks like 24 lb lbs) (i'm doing the one that connects to the OFH itself)
6 bolts for the oil filter housing (22nm or 16.22 ft lbs)
the alternator tensioner
the ac tensioner
and the hydralic tensioner below the alternator and it's pulley.
