My Mystic Adventure...

[cakM3]

Went to put my Hydraulic tensioner pulley back on and discovered this issue/annoyance . . .

so I went and got a new bolt to replace this mangled one just to be safe . . .

It is much nicer having a torx head bolt in perfect condition (like the one on the right of this picture) rather than using one that has been mangled up like the one on the left.

As I said back on my first post of this project thread, I'm restoring this car little by little as I continue working on her

I have a set of new decals to swap into my ZHP should a time come where I will have to swap out motors on this car . . .



For the time being I will place these decals in a safe place.

Getting everything put back together on my ZHP. A full overhaul of my cooling system is now complete. Getting my freshly cleaned intake manifold reinstalled along with everything else

The G.A.S. CCV Replacement kit I purchased earlier this summer is getting installed as the final touch to my current maintenance




Everything should be completed tomorrow with the cooling system being properly filled.

Yayayayaya, nice weekend work. I’m sure it will be relieving to have this stuff all wrapped up

It will be relieving for sure Jacob It's funny how something always seem to come up when doing extensive work like this and you add more to the list of things to do while you're there... at least I'm almost finished and I'm looking forward to driving my ZHP again

it almost always compounds on bigger jobs like this. you either find stuff that needs to be replaced OR you find those parts that "might as well" be replaced while you're in there.

she's gonna be buttery smooth when you fire it back up.

I have never taken off an intake manifold on any car I have ever owned or replaced cooling system hard pipes and heater core hoses like I recently have on my ZHP. I was impressed by just how easy this job is to do . . . just time consuming if you want to do it right. At least everything used for this maintenance with exception of my Stewart Water Pump and ECS Tuning Aluminum water pump pulley are genuine OEM BMW parts

I'm really looking forward firing my car back up Jacob

My G.A.S. CCV Replacement kit has finally been installed on my ZHP today

Thanks Roylan for the opportunity to buy this kit from you


This kit is very high quality and functional, much more efficient than the OE CCV setup this car came with from the factory.

Having this kit installed also adds nice engine compartment bling to my ZHP


I'm almost finished with my current maintenance/upgrades. Just a few more things to reinstall and I can refill fresh coolant and bleed the system. Almost there!

The install was pretty much straightforward. For me the most difficult part of doing this install was shaving my intake manifold per directions on step #30 because it really does not tell you how much to take off. I had to look at this picture a few times because none of the other pictures showed this angle with the bottom part of the kit installed.

Anyway once I was done with this step, the rest was easy to do and it only took me about an hour at most to follow the install directions and get the kit installed on my ZHP since I already had everything apart. I'm impressed by the build quality of this kit and like that it is a much better solution over the OE CCV setup
