I'm pretty sure, yes.

too sexy for my eyes

Caswell. **** yeah.

Parts car guys, anyone have a metal valve cover I could get for cheap?

Also, how do you edit thread titles on Bimmerforums?

I built my own sandblasting booth many moons ago. Fun times.

Is your valve cover bad or do you just need one to powdercoat? I could send you one, but I would need to get one back within a reasonable time (maybe with a fresh coat of powder? )

That could be arranged, pending if I can fit it in my oven.

Mine isn't bad, just want to powdercoat one.

I will be jelly if matt has an oven big enough to fit a valve cover... I just coated an intake mani for an M20. Looks so awesome!

pictars uploading..

Same as here probably. Open the thread and edit it. The thread title should be available for change there

Yeah, it's the same, but most of the time the name won't actually change when you see it in the thread list. It only shows the changed name when viewing the thread.



I hate bfc. I post two threads with legitimate questions with good info, and get no helpful responses. But the guys that post a thread about dino oil vs sythetic or K&N filters get a million responses.

bf.c is pretty bad. Either your in, or you're a noob with no knowledge of anything.

Nope, not in the edit section. I did it before but can't remember.

CJ, I'll check measurements tomorrow to see if it'll fit.

The FI section of bf.c is pretty nice, thats pretty much where I lurk on that site. And the classifieds.

Pictars as promised




^awesome base of black and topcoat metallic red^

Looks good from what I can see in those terrible pictures

And I'm always on the bfc classifieds. I check the engine section a couple times a day.

just cranked the HECK outta my car it wouldnt start -____-

second time i cranked it and started up very weakly it were going to die (caught rpms turtle slow)

idled fine

this has been happening for 2 days now

but it wont do it early in the morning (cold starts) only 10-20 after driving it (not cold but near the edge of the blue box)

Weird. I think my car had a very similar issue at one point. Have you cleaned your ICV?

Nah, I had the chance while my manifold was out the way but i didnt have any alcohol anything to clean it with so i just stuck it back in

Might be worth a shot. It's not as bad as people make it out to be.

Grr dreadful task lol

Sent from my SCH-R720 using Bimmer

Like I said... It's not that bad. You just have to sacrifice the comfort of your hand for a little while.

Do the routine stuffs first Dino... sometimes the most mind-baffling problems are solved with the simplest solutions.

interestedz in knowing whose got an oven large enough to powdercoat a valve cover. will be teh lurkerz...
