What ended up being the issue?

New shed? How big ?

Something to do with one of the sleeves, haven’t been told exactly what yet, hopefully will find out when I pick it up and get the chance to talk to the them face to face 

yeah new shed, it’s only a 6x6.5 but for a suburban area is a pretty decent size

I have come to find my 9x6.5 isn't big enough...

Too many toys (tools)... I think it's time to wall in the car port bay and move some stuff... Hmm...

 

 

Brett, update?

How's garage build?

Engine rebuild?

Isn’t really much to update, 

the shed I’ve been trying to get the slab down but the certifier keep finding hoops for me to jump through, I’m hoping I’m somewhere near close now. 
 

the car I haven’t seen since November, the engine isn’t back yet and either is the sump. I’ve already written off gtr fest and am starting to doubt I’ll make any other event this year

Ok it amazing how much things can change in the space of 2 days. 
 

the shed is at the point where all I need to do is organize the concreter to do his thing and it’s off and running 

with the engine

Awesome!

So.....  Have they given you the FULL story as to what it was?  Warped sleeve, cocked sleeve, cracked, driver error 🤪...??

All I could get was it was leaking and they resealed it.

Is it back in yet? Chop chop😉

I don’t have the car or the sump, my aim is to get my shed built and then get the car in there and start working on it again

I decided to rebuild the throttle bodies because they didn’t feel smooth when you opened and closed them

them when I started

bit of heat to break the seal on the screws

new bearings next to the old ones

cleaning the old throttle coat off the housing and butterfly’s

all clean

new bearing and the bearing locks which also hold the seals in place

new throttle coat applied and the new seals that I pressed in 

 

once it was all done the throttle felt a lot smoother to open and close and definitely a much better piece of mind

    • Are you suggesting that the kit did a cheap and nasty job of just jamming the wheel in between other things and caused the misalignment? I mean, we normally do this with an integrated crank trigger wheel, not something bodged on. It's not 1995 any more.
    • I mean, given the number of BMWs you own their tolerance for improper torque is rather low. The number of torque + angle spec bolts and non-reusable bolts in one is nuts.
    • Atmospheric vent requires something that doesn't use a MAF for load. You would need a standalone ECU for that.
    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU?
