E46Fanatics - View Single Post - Oil Separator and Oil Filter Housing Gasket at the same time. Question!

Mctwist77 · 09-07-2012, 11:11 AM

Hey everyone so I need to do both of these items on car and I was wondering for those who have completed the Oil Separator, would it be beneficial for me to start by doing the oil filter housing gasket first and leaving everything unassembled on that job to allow more space when doing the Oil Separator? Or would it not really make a difference either way?
Ive just heard that the OS is difficult to get at and I figured that would help. Any input would be awesome, thanks.
