The new and improved BMW


(Click for larger image)


Joel, with some minimal assistance from Todd, has rebuilt the engine in his car. You can see the before (left) and after (right) photos. Some of the parts were taken to a machine shop to be chemical washed and sandblasted. All of the hoses, the injectors, timing gear, water pump, thermostat and sensors were replaced as well as a general cleaning of the internals.

wow! I wish our car looked that spruce on the outside - where you can actually see it - as opposed to under the bonnet ('hood') where no-one but a mechanic ('grease monkey') will see it!

Hope it runs well for you.

Great job Joel. We will be peering under the engine in 26 days!! Love, Granny and Pa
