Brimmed each cylinder with Marvel's Mystery Oil and said a quiet prayer to the oil gods. Also put the other m20 on the engine stand and started stripping the accessories, you know, just in case.

Turns out when I replaced the a/c compressor with the known good one
that the lower hose was rubbing on the clutch.

It didn't matter with the old unit that had the bad clutch that didn't have a belt.
Oh well, it was a good excuse to replace the thermostat.
Beat the heck out of the water pump replacement job that I had prepared for.

Snob and I may get along after all.

I did something extremely similar when I put in a new radiator, including new rubber hose, but missing a lower radiator rubber cradle bushing.

Replaced my lower control arms cause I failed inspection. Dammit.

Packed it to go camp out with my wife's hippy friends. My friend David and I will be happily drunk

Drove it.
That is all.

Broke an engine mount (stock but new )

I guess a 280 approx HP m30 in an otherwise stock e28 (alot of axle tramp from old stock suspension) just isnt wise, but it is fun.

Yesterday, cleaned and painted a set of e32 brakes I bought off Tyler Small over 3 years ago.

This morning, installed said brakes on the newly acquired 535is (big improvement, btw) . My eight year old did an exceptional job helping me bleed them.

This afternoon, loaded up said e28 and went camping with the kids and dog.

Mmmmmm...smores.

Wth am I doing on the internetz right now anyway? This update could've waited!

As for the e28, pulled the side mirrors off, sanded them down a bit and gave them a fresh coat of paint. Black, as God intended them to be.

In the bottles, yes. Still in the cans.

Went over that pass in 05 in the 535i as part of a 6K mile vacation. I'm a drivin' fool but that was just tooooo much.

On friday had the L. upper and lower control arms replaced and R. side lower replaced. Saturday washed and polished the car and rims, went on to clean the interior ran out of time to shampoo the engine damnit!

Over the weekend I installed nice new clean front wheelwell trims and adjusted the AFM wiper arm a bit.

Posted: **Jul 07, 2011 11:53 AM**

Installed new cooling fan and vent lines on the s38 and replaced the power steering filter.

Posted: **Jul 07, 2011 2:32 PM**

Waited on parts.

Advanced my camshaft timing (via m30 adjustable sprocket )

Too much, as i am certain my car is now slower.

Will try again tomorrow.

Posted: **Jul 10, 2011 6:55 AM**

Just drove 300k's or so.

Posted: **Jul 10, 2011 7:31 AM**

Power washed the replacement G280

Posted: **Jul 10, 2011 7:35 AM**

Put new tyres on. Now the guards need rolling.

Posted: **Jul 10, 2011 12:26 PM**

needed new tires. instead of paying $600-$800 for new tires on my old 15" prime wheels, found 17" hockenheims with 80-90% tread for $400.

Used it for a sunbrella.
