I've replaced both valve covers and noticed an oil leak on both camshaft adjusters. Do the cams need locked before removing the covers to replace the seals?

Hi,

Is this a C63? I believe by accident you transposed the model above. I just want to confirm I have the right vehicle.

If you are not removing the timing chain, there isn't a need to lock the cams in place.

Let me know if that helps and if I have the correct vehicle.

Take care,

Joe
