ask this on rennlist.com Logray has just completed a rebuild that sounds like what you are doing.

thanks guys. not asking for a primer in engine rebuilding, just want to know what others have done to head off the "yo dummy, why didnt you replace the (fill in the blank) when you were rebuilding and had the motor out ?"

If my wife knew what I've spent on parts and machine work...she probably does ; )

Water pump

Idler pulleys

Plugs and coils

Clean out your SAI ports

New serpentine belt

Air cleaner filter

Oil filter/Oil

Guessing you probably already know these items, but thought I would throw them in there!

[phil53chevy]

Thanks,

Coils too ? where can you get them reasonably priced ? Pelican is tearing my @## up !

what are SAI ports??

[Loren]

SAI = Secondary Air Injection

Used to meet emission standards.

[phil53chevy]

got it. Ill clean themn and the valve

Replacing lifters is a good idea. They often get stuck and affect the performance. I know I replaced all of mine when I did some engine work a few years back and several were stuck. Porsche has a superseded part number at a higher cost but you can still get the originals at a lower cost under a BMW part number.

Have a good friend who is parts manager at BMW dealer. will contact him for lifters. thanks
