valve gasket - fuel line

when removing driver side valve cover do you need to disconnect fuel line? if so, how do i bleed it or do i need to?

also, does anybody have little o-ring part number that sit inside smaller valve cover?

yes you need to disconnect the fuel line there to remove the valve cover. the top panel on the valve cover is not an o-ring but rather mercedes sealant

nope, just crank the car, it will take an extra second or two to get the air out the line before the car fires. if you really want to bleed the line there is a shrader valve on the end of the fuel rail
