I have all my CCV parts from Tischer still sitting in my garage. I really need to call my indy tomorrow and get an hrs estimate. I seriously have no free time to do this stuff right now.

THREAD DRIFT:

This has been Alabama's year the entire season! Just losing JP Wilson was a major upgrade and Ingram was a beast all year long. Florida didn't have near the team they did last year and Tebow was good, but a bit dinged up and they really missed Louis Murphy and Percy Harvin, IMO.

Alabama is going to annihilate Texas.

Alabama 57, Texas 23

and Florida is going to crush Cincy.

Florida 48, Cincy 27

I still want at least a 4 team BCS playoff though, use the existing bowls..........

Indeed. But you won't be seeing a playoff for a few years at least. I remember watching Percy Harvin play on Thanksgiving day thinking, "I am so glad he isn't still playing with Florida". Bama won't score 57 points, Saban will take his foot off the gas when (and if) they get up big. He is a class guy and has done it all year (not run up the score). That is what separates real men from Lane Kiffin, class.

Always impressed by Smolck's mechanical skills. Where did you learn your considerable skills?

Just wanted to save this under my history, so I can reference it later. I noticed oil leakage down there inspecting my steering knukle.

Thanks to this highly informative piece of automotive history, I too was able to replace the CCV on my 2001 525i Sport Wagon. I also took advantage of the little snidbits of info regarding cleaning the ICV, and the black box I am not exactly sure of, as well as the MAF unit. Happy to say the repairs have added new life and smooth idling to my engine. The throttle body, Idle Control Valve and the CCV were filthy. I also discovered the oil leak was due to a missing dip stick tube rubber grommet. I found several additional vacuum leaks, and repaired those as well. The biggest problem I encountered was how to open the rear tailgate door after disconnecting the battery, and closing the door. This was my lol moment. Thank you for helping me save a ton of money not having to flat bed the vehicle 90 miles to the nearest dealer.
the whole project cost around 175.00 , and that included the beer.
Dennis.

I love the videos in this thread!

So the E39 team can benefit from your efforts, I'm adding them as a reference to the CCV understanding thread over here:
- How to test the BMW E39 pressure-controlled crankcase ventilation system (CCV)?
