Pat@sonictuning · 10-21-2012, 07:13 PM

I'm changing my girls valve cover gasket on her n52 motor. I can't seem to locate the 3rd nut or bolt that will release the valvtronic motor does anybody know where it is? I've looked for diys and I can't seem to really find much.

Get a Bentley manual!
They even advertise removing the Valvetronic motor lol

Lol I just can't seem to locate this damn 3rd bolt! Only thing preventing me from removing the valve cover currently.

take a picture and send it to Clem (Adam) he might be able to help. Where is the car now? Saw you were doing this at 9:00 last night....not a good day/hour to be working on any car.

Lol no I wasn't working on it in the dark. I think I have managed to find the bolt I need to pull out which will allow me to drop the valvetronic motor out.

dark, light, whatever.....working on a car on a Sunday night at 9pm is a bad idea

I should have clarified more. I wasn't working on the car at 9pm. That just happens to be the time I logged into E90 post and posted this thread.

Didn't you know about former Marines? They have NVG (Night Vision Goggle) implanted in their eyes when they finish Boot Camp.

Pat has NVG eyes, man! His eyes glow green in the dark...because Pat.

Pat@sonictuning · 10-23-2012, 08:31 PM

Everything is finished 5 hours over a 3 day period!!

Being a Marine, I can verify that. Also, there is no such thing as a "Former" Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine.
