R56 what is this red pull tab on valve cover?
2010 mini cooper. I bought a new valve cover. It has a red pull tab. Do I pull it or what? No other parts came with the cover

Are you talking about this red tab in the photo below?
 If so, remove it. You are supposed to reinsert the valve cap once you remove the red pull tab. |

On the new valve cover do I pull out the red pull ring and install the valve with the green oring in its place
