4-Cylinder Valve Cover Gasket Replacement...

Greetings
I’m planning to do a Valve cover replacement gasket on a 1997 e36 M44 BMW since there is an oil leakage on the right side of the cover and dripping on the engine headers and I’m getting this burn-rubber smell thru my A/C vents when starting up the engine at mornings. As I see Pelican sells only the main gasket with no Spark plugs seals
1- Do I need this spark plug seals, if yes where can I get them?
2- Can you tell me the valve cover bolts sequence & torque in order to tight them back when placing the cover back?
3- This article is for 6 cylinders engine valve cover replacement gasket, where can I find a R&R for a 4 cylinders engine?
Advanced thank you for your time & broad help…
Cheers,
Richard

Part number 09-0906-876-M16 shows the valve cover gasket and the spark plug seals that you need as well. I'm pretty sure this is the correct gasket set for your car. The tightening sequence for the cover should be criss-cross in increasing value. It's not like a head gasket, the order of tightening is less important here. The 4-cyl is very similar to the 6-cyl, this article should get you most of the way there.

Thank you Wayne for the info, I have found the valve cover bolts seal part # 11-12-1-721-879-M17 in your Catalog, so I will place the order ASAP and start on with the job.
Again Thx.....
