Ready for Installation

I just finished refreshing the timing chain cover, valve cover and oil pan gaskets. I took the opportunity to throw on a few parts from Tom Rafalski. The first was this cool pedal box plug. It's an O-ringed plate that fills the hole in the bottom of the pedal box that BMW put there so you can pull out the brake linkage without removing the entire box. I also used one of Tom's way-too-cool-looking fuel pump block-off plates.

When installing the timing chain covers, I used a bunch of metric studs with nuts because I'm tired of forgetting which bolts go where.





Tomorrow, installation!
