DrLeadFoot Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Going to make the temp sensor into a vacuum port or find a barb fitting at the hardware store.Took a straight edge and a feeler gauge to the block at a bunch of different angles. This is the only spot that the .0015" feeler gauge found a gap. It has resistance but it still goes under the straight edge. The area in question is by the coolant port and is a little wider than the gauge. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Ben has something similar going on with his block as well. I dont have the specs for a BMW handy but I believe .002" is the max. deviation for flatness on a typical cylinder head. I wouldn't let it bother me if I were you. Nobody can say for sure that it will be fine/be a problem but if I were in your shoes i'd just forget about it and run with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 That is kind of odd, it looks a lot like the imperfection that I have in mine!With the material the HG is made out of I think it should be fine. That doesn't extend to the cylinder does it? If not I wouldn't be too concerned about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Wiring up the traction control. Any pointers on which front ABS wire to tap into? For the rear I'll use the vehicle speed sensor. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Where have I heard that name before? From what ive researched, if you tap into an existing + from an ABS sensor then you need to amplify the signal like you mentioned the other day. Dialing in the amplification on that link I texted you looks like it requires an oscilloscope and an electrical engineering degree which is why I suggested making a bracket to mount a standalone wheel speed sensor.

I remember he used some signal converter that was cheap and got it to work great. Just facebook him or get him on BF.C. He will answer your question without any head scratching.

GunMetalGrey Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 The one on the underside of the manifold?Wiring for traction control looks about right, though I have not used one of the conditioners. What one did you end up using?Edit: Just kidding, went back a page and found it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowleym Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Now I'm confused. You are plugging the stock IAT port, and putting a vacuum line on it? I assume you are going to a GM style IAT sensor mounted on your charge piping? DrLeadFoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted August 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Ordered two of these. http://www.knifecountryusa.com/store/product/118873.118902/norton-sharpeners-ib6-6-india-alundum-175th-anniversary-edition.html?avad=55963_f9615842 I'd be kicking myself if I blew the head gasket again without preparing the block the proper way. This weekend I'll get my oil cooler sorted out, order some other parts and put some work in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowleym Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Good choice. Nearly everyone In our building has one of those, and I own one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 The stone block is the farthest thing from the proper way lol.It's just a way to do it that allows you to keep the motor in. Not that it won't work, but unless you managed to warp your block you stand a chance of messing it up when you do it by hand. You only use the stone a couple times, then you switch to sandpaper over the stone. It's pretty easy, but you will have some very tired arms after!

I'm just nervous about that .0015 gap on cylinder #6. What would you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
