Congrats! yes, tell us more.

I ordered some new spark plugs, DINAN ignition coils, some RTV and an OEM BMW VCG kit for my ZHP tonight :cool


Edit: I ordered enough Valve Cover nuts to refresh the ones that are currently on my valve cover as well as a bunch of parts associated with the Secondary Air Pump system to refresh this as well.

Today we went in for oil service and the regular multi point inspection and nothing crazy was found.

Last week I did ~1000 miles road trip on my wife's zhp. It was nice to test the suspension that was overhauled 4 months ago. It is such a great car! During the trip, I cracked 180k miles. Car is slowly getting old, but it doesn't scare me since we are planning to keep it for a long time. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0e17484c99.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6bb0e776b8.jpg

VCG and Secondary Air Pump service on my ZHP was completed yesterday after 6hrs of work[emoji41]

While I had the valve cover off I decided to give it a good cleaning, took my time cleaning the gasket seating surfaces on my engine and applied RTV where it was needed.

I noticed the previous time this maintenance was done no RTV was used. New nuts and rubber grommets were also used to replace the old hard ones.

All part of getting my ZHP ready for it's upcoming trip to Florida this summer[emoji41]

Is this off-topic? (please don't mind me - just excited)

My E46 now has to deal with 2 red Japanese beauties in the confines of my 1-car garage:

What kind of RTV did you use? BMW uses some kind of Red colored typed of RTV. Do not recall the name of their RTV.
