DrLeadFoot Posted January 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Oil change at 1,327 miles. Valvoline Conventional 10w-30 and a Napa 1515 Gold Filter. I also replaced a leaking CCV vacuum pump -12an 90* fitting and added a short radius 90* and a 120* fitting on the hose side to give me more space from the top of the oil pan.

DrLeadFoot Posted March 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Subframe, diff, driveshaft and trailing arms installed!! Wow my pics are blurry! Used Nord-lock washers for the driveshaft/diff adapter. Accidentally threw one in the garage. I've successfully found the needle in the haystack.

DrLeadFoot Posted May 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 I usually take the Black Pearl out for closing days. Today is one of those! Closing on a Sussex condo this afternoon! I've been getting a flickering oil pressure light that has turned to just being on all the time. My VDO oil pressure gauge has remained consistent so I thought some wiring bugs have peaked out. This morning, I dug through my nest of wires and coolant hoses to get to the oil pressure sending unit on the motor to see it was all oily. Popped it out and threw on the the sending unit that was on my s54 sitting next to me. Popped it back in, started it up and no light! Success!!!

DrLeadFoot Posted September 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 I finally got my OEM BMW windshield installed. It has been in my basement for 4+ years. New gasket and black center trim. I tried to do it myself and hit a brick wall. Mark the Glass Man came to my house and finished it off and filled in a stone chip on the wagon. straight6pwr, jc43089, P_Roloff and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
