Not much have happened. Engine is somewhat stripped down and somewhat clean. Tried to change valve stem seals with compressed air but pretty much all cylinders had one or two valves leaking because of carbon build up. So it was nada. Now engine is at my home garage on engine stand. Gotta try the rope trick for valve stems. And order all the parts to get it ready for the swap.
I'm having hard time finding E38 728i m52 oil dip stick tube which should perfect for this. New one costs a bit too much for my taste.
Back on the road summer 2199?
Been fixing E65 lately. First starter broke down and now electric fan. Without it ac did not work. So money that was itended for this when't in to "dailies"
