If your going too do this yourself consider doing the timing chain if it has more than 5 degrees of stretch. Better bone up on IP timing also as this job is difficult too do without "loosing" timing. You can zip tie the chain to the cam sprocket and then remove the cam but its still tough to do the job and not have too re time. I had to replace the head gasket on my daughters 240D. It was blowing small bubbles.
