Minor update,

Cam gears, valve springs and retainers have been fitted. smile.gif

Had a couple of minor issues where the shim somehow popped out of the retainer bucket. I'm not sure whether it was due to poor lighting and upon installation the shim fell out or whether it popped out as i started it.

I think the first one is the more likely explanation.

Anyways all sorted now.

I have to say though the springs and retainers have made the world of difference, it no longer gets any valve train noise around 8K + It sounds smooth throughout the whole range.

I may be changing my direction slightly on the intake though, so stay tuned. :P

Yeah boi.

Well not much of an update, but i decided to paint my rocker cover in crinkle coat black. What's your thoughts?

I ended up putting it in the BBQ at 90* for about 15 - 20 minutes to tighten the crinkles up.

Thanks alot guys. It won't be done quickly as there is still a bit of fabrication work to be done. But that cant be done until I know the spacing of the ITB's.

I should receive my adapter plate and fuel rail soon enough.

    • I left that life behind me. After so many rod bearings... (Had quite a few M3s)
    • Both Coils and Loom are OEM from the dealer.  I have not tried the Chinesium AFM. I Might today. Will get a timing gun to check this, to be honest I been meaning to check the timing because everything timing related is as the car came from Japan, being set by whatever shop did the timing 1.5k miles ago. I believe it is running rich all the time actually, as the pops and bangs feels like unburnt mixture in the exhaust. But I will check the pump and regulator. PS also new OEM fuel filter is in during the maintenance before these slew of misfires started. Cas been placed on the same position as it was before removed, same markings that were left by the shop that did the timing before I bought and imported the car. Thank you all for the responses so far by the way. Seems like I need to pay more attention to CAS condition and timing. Will check on that and report back here.
    • Buyer beware. Assume everyone is dodgy on the internet unless proven otherwise.
    • Try unplugging the smaller plug from the controller under the parcel shelf. right side when standing at the boot (HICAS controller). It's sort of saved me from the car killing me (HICAS spazzing out),
