Random pic on Lake Dr.
Took the car into Urban Motorworx for the engine mounts and passenger side arm as well as a look into the too rich bank 1 & 2 codes.

Might need to do a head gasket on this beast. Compression test to come.
Doesn't seem too tough. I did a eta to i head swap 11 years ago so it has to be like riding a bike.

They are but I'm getting too lean on all banks. I'm debating on going back to a stock tune if the air flow sensor doesn't do the trick. Of course after doing a compression test.

I do here a puttering like those old Chevy trucks with a exhaust manifold leak. This could be a big issue with the O2 sensors but would it be throwing a too lean for bank 1&2??

Yes. Any leak before the cat that's monitored by your pre-cat o2 will mess with your afr's and can cause a too lean.

Did some work on the M3 today with the help of Dan The Exhaust Man. Now waiting on parts that should be showing up tomorrow.
4 out of the 6 cylinders were leaking at the exhaust ports due to loose bolts. Hmmm, why do some shops reuse one time use components?!!?
Just got the valves adjusted... leaking oil??
Took some material off of the motor mount and its heat sheild to make room for the header.
Missing some material. This is the #6 cylinder which has had the most issues.

What headers are going on?
The same that were on before. Just installing the correct hardware the correct way. Getting all BMW parts from Concours.
