After the new cam, vlaves and valve springs, my car runs like a top. That cam gave it that little (seat-of-the-pants meter says ALOT) extra kick that the car needed. Back together and running strong. I'm expecting another 100k out of it w/o too many problems, the whole top end of the engine is brand new!!

oh nice to hear. did you ahve the chance to run a dyno? new cam? replacement of a broken one or performance stuff?

What brand products did you get? How long did it take you to do all the work? That sounds like some fun, i wish i had the bank and clock to do that to mine. did you run into any problems when doing the work?

I had it done at a shop around here, where all they do is bimmers, so i didnt get the pleasure of tearing it apart myslef. I dont know biimers well enough and I really didnt have the time. The cam is a OEM BMW German Spec and I dont know where the SS springs and valves were from, but the valves were $82 a piece springs with springs, so they werent really that much over OEM at $67 a piece w/o springs. And the only reason I had anything done was because my sister sucked a couple valves when she mis-shifted...

and no i didnt get a chance to dyno it, the closest place around here is about 125 miles away, at least thats the only place I know of or have been to before with my other cars. Like I said, i really dont have the time, or the extra cash after that repair to pay for dyno pulls...
