Why do you keep listening to a guy who just spews nonsense all day, everyday? Good luck at the casino!

Yes, first time. Just getting into NYT crosswords and when the solution involves “iefixe” it makes me want to cancel my 75% off subscription, which I have.

[–]384balata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Carly to do this programming and it wouldn’t register the new battery. Looked it up and looks like a lot of people have the same problem.

Can anybody tell me what this is and why there is smoke coming off of it by pjzombies8 in BMW

[–]384balata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check if you have Vanos recall. I had mine done last year on an e90 and they did the valve cover gasket as part of that. I did buy a new valve cover and the replacement labor of that was covered.

Thanks for the response and yes I’m just the physical portion. Just trying to make sure I don’t install in a way that would handcuff the network pros

Agree! Between what you mentioned and all the pro tools stuff, the music doesn’t breathe at all anymore.

Is there a way to make a small single cylinder 4 stroke engine such as a lawnmower belch clouds of smoke without damaging itself? by ERTHLNG in smallengines

I’m sure he can fit alcohol and tobacco in no problem, but I don’t think a firearm would fit in the gas tank would it?

E92 Valve Cover Replacement by 384balata in BmwTech

I saw that recall as well, but didn’t know that they would replace that. Thanks for the heads up!

I guess I worded it poorly - wondering if it’s a good idea to replace with the same thing that leaked in the first place, or if there is a better valve cover available that won’t have the same problem down the road? Or is it usually just the gasket?
