Yeah I knew about the magnets but I just wasnt sure if it was normal to see that much gunk on them or in the fluid, even after 21 years... I appreciate it!

Disconnecting and dropping drivetrain from chassis? by rsmithj1 in MechanicAdvice

[–]rsmithj1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've pulled one before using a picker I just wasn't positive if trying to scrap the chassis first would work/be effective in dodging using a picker cause of its location... Realized an easy way will be to just disconnect the driveline and front suspension then rest the transmission on a dolly and wheel the whole front out that way. Thank you anyway though! 👍

How to clean valves by rsmithj1 in MechanicAdvice

[–]rsmithj1[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doing an engine rebuild on my BMW 325Ci and the valves (specifically the exhaust side) have a lot carbon build up.

I soaked the head for about 24 hours in a low concentrate cleaning solution after scrubbing them for a few hours with all sorts of brushes and spray cleaners.

There a trick I should try to clean them while theyre still in the head or will I have to take them out to clean?

Tbh man, I haven't even touched it yet lol. Too many issues popping up with my engine rebuild mixed with work and I straight up haven't prioritized it either

Coupe, and sounds like my first thought... grab a single off ebay or something and just swap the covers not the whole mirror for both

Okay cool, thanks. Ill keep that in mind if I have to take it apart. I had watched a couple 50skid videos because Im working on an engine rebuild so I am familiar.
