Been looking into a 2011 or 2012 Quattroporte S for a little while now, and I am completely willing to travel for the adventure of finding the right car, so I’ve found a few options. My top option has a great carfax, but the valve cover gaskets were done at both 25k miles and then again at 42k miles. Would this have just been a bad job the first time? I know valve cover gaskets on the 4.7 are definitely a while you’re in there type thing for the alternator and such, but I’ve never heard of them only lasting 17k miles. It doesn’t look like the second time doing them was a “while you’re in there” thing either. Does this indicate more underlying problems I may be looking past? The service history is impeccable and I like the spec.
