So an update on the 850Ci I recently swapped for the 530i..
Had manifolds Guncoated, tappet covers powder-coated, some cleaning under the hood, oil change.. started up.. car smoked something ridiculous.
Started again, STRIP DOWN, checked, plugs, compression, etc etc. New Ignition leads arrived and look very good.
Seems Vacuum hose valves old, causing oil to being sucked into the manifold and blowing out the exhaust, lets replace both just in case
Waiting on new tappet cover gaskets, lots of little plastic covers and such and hopefully by next week all will be running again. Some more deep cleaning.....
First photo is of the engine after a good clean and assembly, second picture of the inner workings of a v12.... while it lies waiting on another 3K worth of spares.
Must honestly admit the 850ci spares bought through my local BMW dealer have been very well priced...Coming in from Classic BMW Germany
So far..
2 Rear discs , pads, shoes and sensor
all rubbers for MAF
Full set boughi cords, made up specially by Bougi SA
Manifold Powder-coating and gun-coat
Distributor covers
Plug Lead covers
Oil filler splash cover
Front engine cover
Oil Filter
Oil
OEM Front Pads and sensor
Hazard switch
Small covers, bolts, nuts, screws all OEM
OEM Radio and 6cd Shuttle cartridge 2nd hand
All the above just on 6K
Pvt number plate ordered.. BMW 8 CI GP
