      Installed a Skyer-Motorsport carbon beauty engine cover and my TMS CSL airbox yesterday. Also changed plugs and coils. Still need to clean up the wiring and stuff. Thanks to Cubieman for answering my questions regarding the MAP wiring. I have a ton of rusty bolts that need replacing, hopefully I can tackle that this week. It never ends.

        Got back the c38-81 (originally in AA kit) from superchargerrebuilds.com after shaft and impeller replaced.

        This unit will serve as backup to the replacement unit from AA.

          Preventative maintenance since I'm at 103,500 miles. Funny that I bought this fuel pump back in 2018 and now in 2022 I thought I had installed it years back but I'm rummaging through my parts bin and I see an unopened box which I open up and there is this pump. Whoops.

          I checked the receipt and I paid $367.27 in May of 2018. Checked ECS and the OEM pump is now $449.96 and $483.99 at FCP.

            Are you going to lifetime guarantee that one?

              No I bought it from getbmwparts.com as I wasn't using FCP much at that time but by late 2018 early 2019 I was using FCP quite a bit. If you're looking to get the pump it is too late, already disposed of and gone. I didn't even think about offering it to a forum member for cheap but I should have.

                    It was A big couple of days. I need to start a build thread around these parts.

                    The HG failed between every cylinder in the middle layer. In two cylinders it failed on 2/3 of the layers - block and middle side failures.

                      How many miles on engine? What symptoms were you having before you took it apart?

                        211k. Rough running. Random fuel smells (possibly cat related). Warm starts would stumble.

                        Diagnosed down on compression and leakdown test. The hg failed between all cylinders to some degree. Front three were the worst.

                          I fixed my rattling drivers window and made the doors feel like a brand new car not really sure why I put up with this for so many years but I used the links below.

                              None! And I did it in a huge rush at 9pm for no real reason.
