I should also mention that I may potentially be slightly OCD and at the first sign of the slightest seeping I would change them out. Esp when its free parts and it gives me some time to go wrench on the cars and listen to some music in the garage with my boys. Nowadays though I drive like 3-4K miles a year since I've been working from home so its been a bit since I have changed a gasket. |

No, I did not use P-Tex on the OFHG. I'm not sure it is useful on a profile gasket.

I looked. I have zero familiarity with the N54. Wish I could help.

The M44 in my wife's Z3 teaches you all about oil leaks. The timing chain cover is a nightmare. It has flat AND profile gaskets. LOL.

On topic - I think a lot of these gasket failures are from age more than anything else. It’s not a coincidence that nearly every E9x I’ve looked at when shopping has a leaking oil pan gasket & a leaking (or replaced) OFHG. |

Had 80k on an e46 not one problem other than premature failure
of Sensors for Input Cam and oil pressure sensor, covered under warranty. Have had every possible oil leak on the E91 . but I have had it about twice as long to. |

The E21 had a much simpler antenna setup. |

Not even sure if you can get them now… Speaking of gaskets, I’ll be curious to see how the newer B46 / B58 motors do - supposedly Toyota specced the gasket materials on those motors as they were sticking them in the Supra. Damn shame the BMWs they’re bolted to are so bland. |
