Best shop to get the OFHG replaced? Worries about possible engine failure after chang
Hi Folks,
Hope all is well! What's the best shop in the Toronto area that does the most oil filter housing gasket replacements? I have a very small slow leak starting at the moment, nothing is leaking down to the belt but I'd like to get it replaced soon. I'm familiar with lots of shops in the GTA but for this specific job I think I'm actually going to go to the bmw dealer. It'll cost more but they'll follow the priming procedure and if something happens down the line I'd have a better case against them than a small Indy shop. What are your thoughts on this issue with engines seizing after ofhg replacements? I've heard of this happening even with priming prior to start up. Would it be the safest bet to go to a bmw dealer? |

Try Bavarian Motorsport in Pickering 1031 Toy Ave
Ask for Marshall. He’s got a ton of experience and I’ve never been dissatisfied with any of his work. Rob |

Changing the OFHG is pretty laborous. I'd be inclined to take it to a BMW dealer as well. They need to do it correctly...drain the coolant as well from what I recall.
I was going to do it myself but it was a pita. |
