Nope. Going to automotion with some friends

Parts should be getting here mid to late next week.
I'll be able to get the s50 sealed up and ready to go.
Still have to order a radiator/hoses, engine mounts, Trans mounts, O2 sensor and some random other crap for the car.
Right now the focus is on getting the motor sealed up & ready

This stuff was a pain in the ass
After the silicone spray to seal&make color last
Exhaust Hardware/gaskets came today as well. New studs to mount these and then the rest of the parts show up Thursday/Friday hopefully

Does header wrap still cause manifolds to corrode and crack?
Under the "Fair Oxidation Treaty of 2013" wraps and coatings applied to tubular internal combustion engine components are now exempt from defects caused by corrosion.

Did you get new lock nutz?
New hardware yes

Does header wrap still cause manifolds to corrode and crack?
Never had it happen to Any other stuff I've had wrapped. Even if it does. These are raceland headers that barely fit correctly. They don't look very nice either.
Earl you worry too much
-
The Ebay/Raceland Headers sound much better after being wrapped. The ones I did look exactly like yours, I hate that you have to wrap the three tubes as one...
Looks Good! -

Thanks man
I wrapped 2 from collector to manifold. Then started at end of exhaust, worked my way back to the manifold side going from 3-2-1 tubes.
It is annoying that 3 have to be wrapped but oh well

Installed, bimmer world shorted me of hardware. Copper nuts, I need 24, they sent 18. More like bummer world. I ended up reusing 6 old ones from one of the two 24 valvers I have.
They sent me a pack of gummy bears, but not the right amount of hardware. Priorities.

Gummy bears = priority

Thy are sending me more nuts. But I already used some from the m50.
Convenient

New waterpump, tstat/housing are on. Need to rob the tensioner off the m50 yet.
New oil line from vanos to oil filter housing as well.
Today I'm going to swap pans/pickup/new oil pump nut. Put on the new sensors, see how far I can get before I need to swap the harness
