SOme of you may hve seen my previous thread after recently buying an 850i.
Well car has been off the road for about a month as I took the top of the engine apart and with the help and advice of the members here and some guides and websites have:
-Cleaned and painted RC's and applyed blue hylomar to gasket faces.
-Tightened banjo bolts.
-Cleaned inside and outside of inlet manifolds
-Cleaned and blue hylomared the intake gaskets.
-Cleaned injectors and put new O-rings on.
-Put some new fuel hose at rear of injector rails,
-Cleaned PCV system and replaced hose.
-Replaced vacuum hose with silicone type.
-Dismantled and cleaned throttle bodies (highly reccomended!).
-Replaced Oil, and air filters.
-Put hub diameter shims on front wheels.
-Took car for ULTIMATE car wash.
Car now drives like a different machine and idles much better! Hub shims have gotten rid of alot of ~70mph wheel vibration, but the rear wheels are corroded onto teh hubs and didnt want to come off so I left them for another day.
There is some vibration under braking which I will look into.
pics to follow.... I love the car!!!
