  1. A simple compression test would tell if the head gasket needs replaced. I'd check the compression.

    compression test won t tell you of a bad headgasket.........it can however tell you if you have bad valve seals or burnt valves or bad piston rings

     

    a compression leakdown will tell you if you have a bad HG

  2. IDK anything when it comes to that, just saying what i heard on CNN

    there's your problem..............CNN sucks and have sucked since Ted Turner let go of them..........CNN doesn't do news, they do entertainment

  3. It's incredibly easy to do. There are a ton of writeups out there on forums like DTMPower.net. I haven't looked at the valve on the E60 cars, but on the E46 cars you just climb under the car, remove the valve, hollow it out (or buy a hollowed one), replace the valve, bleed the clutch, enjoy.

    zeckhausen does say to replace the cluitch delay valve with a modified one , but I don t believe that s necessary. I just straight up remove it and don t put anything there to replace it on bmwohio's car when I did it

  4. I need the connector that goes to the injector

    I need the plug and pigtail with 2 wires

     

     

    can be from any older BMW actually or any other vehicle with the same style Bosch EV1 injector (VW, Mustang, etc etc etc etc)

     

    looks like this

    for this style injector

    if you have an engine harness you're willing to cannibalize :)

  5. I've got a bleeder as well, and live almost and hour and a half south of you, so it'd probably be easier just to do it in my garage. lol

     

    I really appreciate the offer though! I'll do some research on the bimmer forums. The car has the Sport and weather packages and whatnot, we love it but the things I want to do (lower, front lip, possibly exhaust) she does not see necessary. Such is life.

    it s easy...I advise you bleed at only 7-8 psi with the power bleeder....be 100% sure the fluid in the reservoir is topped off when you begin....the MC reservoir has 2 compartments, 1 for brake system and 1 for clutch system...so if you bleed the clutch system dry, you won't have affected the brake system.......or vice versa
