    Default Valve cover washers?

    Any idea where I can pick up some washers for the bolts that hold the valve
    cover down?

    Thanks

    Did mine last weekend (with the valve cover and plug gaskets) - only place was the stealers - paid about £38 all in.

    got mine at BMA with the cover gaskets, got em all at the same time. Cant be too expensive at the stealers if in immediate need for little rubber parts but you never know.

    Do a search in the archives. There are more than "washers" involved. There is a permimeter gasket and gaskets around each spark plug. Get a Bentley manual for advice.

    As for where to buy, consider the nearest dealer. If in the US, mail order BMA or Autohauz (sp). Both are good.

    Get them from the dealer. They are not expensive. On my 525 I lost a few metal washers. I got some flat washers from Home Depot to replace them.
