Not a whole lot has changed with this car other than racking up the miles! At 182k now, this has been my daily driver for the last 2 years and apparently 26k miles and hasn't skipped a beat. Replaced the steering linkages and idle arm a few months ago but still have some adjustments to do alignment and suspension wise. New parts did not solve the popping noise that I hear when backing and turning out of a parking spot. Unfortunately one of the tie rods I got from FCP was Lemforder china, completely different part so we'll see how long it lasts. I have some more oil leaks to chase down over winter as well and will need a new set of shoes for spring.
I did finally go to a car show for the first time in years for the town festival. I moved to a town of 440 people and unbelievably the neighbor down the street has a euro spec 740iL which is pretty neat, there's also few older Audi's in town as well. The Hellcat on the end is the first Hennessy HPE1000 kit installed. 1140hp to the wheels lol.
Spray bombs.
The price difference between buying the material in quarts vs rattle cans isn't nearly enough to recoup the cost of buying a sprayer, unless you're doing dozens of cars. Even if you are you were, you wouldn't want a $120 consumer-grade machine because it's not built to last or serviceable. Plus with rattle cans there's no need to buy, handle or store any solvent (generally regarded as nasty stuff) or spend your time cleaning a gun. You just toss the can and call it a day.

Back of the engine on a v8, most likely a valley pan which is under the intake manifold. e34's are known to have bad heater cores but that would be leaking inside the car. Otherwise there are some 2 coolant hoses that go to the heater core in the engine bay. Id inspect the valley pan and go from there. If no leak is visually seen there then pressure test the system and inspect.
Are you talking about #5 in the diagram?

Nope id use the press to push old out and new in, much easier and faster.
That is what I am hoping. Going to start this project next week.

I watched this again just to hear the noises [image: ]
I glad to hear his BOV sounds exactly like mine. Flutter then pissssssshhh. I think more pissshhh and less flutter is the winning combo though.
Thanks for the input everyone. From what I had gathered it was a difficult thing to do but I just wanted more specifics. The post was deleted so I guess it was sold anyways, wasn't able to make a move fast enough.
First, the swap has been done before, and theres plenty of information on it, google is your friend.
Second, if you are unsure about rebuilding an engine, a swap is probably out of the question
FYI I cleaned it when I replaced the intake boot to ICV hose using that writeup. Try unplugging it and see what happens. Wouldn't doubt if there are more vacuum leaks either.
