I use a torque wrench for just about everything else.
They simply bottom out and come to a complete stop, if you tighten any more past this point will just rip the bolt off.
That's how most...
Good tip on the razor blade. On my last ZHP someone used a lot of sealant all around and it took some work to get everything off.
I personally never use a torque wrench for valve covers. I just...
Just make sure both surfaces are clean before assembly and it should be okay. I always thoroughly clean grooves in the valve cover as well. Shop towels and lots of break cleaner.
From personal experience, I don't think it wraps with age, but it is made of plastic so it does get brittle over the years.
Just be careful when you take the valve cover off cause it will be stuck...
Take some videos of the exhaust sound. :)
Good job and awesome details as always!
TSE3 is one of the best upgrades for a ZHP. It sounds so good. Worth every penny!
I had the light version and can't imagine having a ZHP without it.

I agree, seals itself are not that hard and if you just want to do that and not the bearings, then definitely get a kit from Beisan.

I've done few Vanos jobs and I'll jump in with some suggestions.
Get a torque wrench if you don't have it. I snapped 2 bolts my first time and wasted another hour running to the store for tools...

Permatex Ultra Grey is my go to sealant -...
They are all more or less the same. I had very good experience with Elring, changed probably more than 10 and never had a problem.
Might as well use that opportunity and get a rebuilt vanos from...
I think you are fine, it's supposed to be like that.
Here's how mine looked:
