intake manifold gasket.

If your car has 60,000 miles or more you may want to replace the oil filter housing gasket while you have the intake manifold off. Had mine replaced when it was walnut blasted at 60,000 and the gasket showed signs of deteriorating and would probably have started leaking in the near future.

That. While you've got the intake off, might as well go for it.

Throttle body gasket as well.

I've had the oil filter housing leak before maybe about 7,000 miles ago or less.
I'm also going to replace PVC with ROB PVC , replacing both vanos solenoid
manifold sensor and going to get the BMS OCC
