i will shortly be replacing the head gasket on my 340 dl (b14) just wondered if anyone had any suggestions for anything else i should consider doing while i have it apart ......any other gaskets/parts i should check/replace for example?

I dont know the answer but i do have a couple of head gasket sets for minus the head gasket... you can have them FOC if you wish, i am sure you will find some of them usefull.

PM your name and address if you want them

You could get a new set of liner seals, when I had a 3 series I replaced the head gasket and needed new liner seals because one moved.

Provided your particular 3 series has wet liners, believe it's a renault engine.

If it is a wet liner make sure you rotate the head and not pull it straight up like bored engines or you will disturb the liners then you will need new seals or the engine will go kerpow [mine did in a big way]
