lol. you still paranoid about that valve. it was just fuel from that injector leaking that made it look washed. good to see it still runs. :)

the engine has done 260,000 but its had a easier life than the old one.
even the old engine had a really good bottom end, they would last forever if t they had iron heads!
ahh thats better, no more vacume leak :)
Are the BMW engines always this loud? or is just because of your exhaust?

its loud because of the exhaust, injectors and tappets. I need to take the cover off and do the tappet clearance soon.
I cut the hole in the muffler a bit bigger so she runs nicely now. just vents the gas downward
ahh yes.
ohh nice! lol :D It sounds a lil tougher than a stock BMW.
thats such a redneck thing to do.lmao
"You might me a redneck if....."
lol. i think you stuffed that up.....
lol I think its a bit too loud now, I'll try wrapping the area with aluminum and fiberglass
sounds great noting better than a freshly installed engine lol
