Next question: my dad broke the clown nose off. We can't seem to find a part number on real OEM for it.
Is it possible to buy that?

Not that I ever found. Mine is super glued back on :)
I have a manual mirror if you want to buy it from me. PM me for details.Quote:

Thx though!
I don't think they sell just the clownnose.
Mirrors go for $50 and up.
Head to a junk yard and see what you can find

I'm going to be ordering a rebuilt vanos from Dr. Vanos shortly and will be doing the VCG while I'm in there. Dr. Vanos comes with the Vanos gasket and the oil line crush washers. I think that's everything needed for that part of the job.
For the valve cover gasket, I'll order this kit from FCP Euro. The steel washers are probably unnecessary, but everything else in the kit looks good.
Beisan's DIY also mentions some easily breakable or loseable parts that you may want to have on hand just in case, the engine cover nut cap, the fan shroud clip, the vanos piston bolt, and the engine cover pads (Part #11-12-1-730-352 - FCP Euro doesn't have them).
Apart from some RTV sealant (high temperature I presume), is there anything else I need or may want for the job?
If you've been seeing camshaft sensor codes, now is the time to replace the sensors... Spark plugs would be easy to throw in as well. Otherwise you look all set.
Spark plugs for sure.
