Would you mind documenting the timing process on video? All the stuff I’ve seen so far is in German or poorly shot. I’ve got ISTA but I learn much better visually.

So it looks like the spring didn’t drop the valve enough to grenade anything. Got that going for you 👍

I assume the SAP system will get cleaned out too yeah? It’d be a shame to freshen everything else up without going through it.

I have a feeling the valve is bent because I can see it hung open. I’m going to replace the spring and seal and do a leak down test. If it leaks too much, I will pull the heads and refresh all the valves. |

I’ve always been curious about doing springs without pulling the engine entirely. I’ve seen a few videos on swapping springs and refreshing valve seals on N62s. Nothing on our cars though. Maybe I haven’t looked in the right places. |

I think that’s what he meant when he said this….”Clean Exhaust Ports (SAI)”. SAI:Secondary Air Injection. I just did this with the engine in and it was a suuuuuuper fun job!

In my case I didn’t have the 3g’s to have the dealer do it. A few vacuum fittings on some hose, 1 can of Seafoam per side and a gun bore cleaner worked out for me! The clogged side was evident when I pushed my endoscope through to look prior to any cleaning.

What codes were you getting from the broken spring? This is nightmare fuel for me.

It would go into limp mode and then die. Only codes I got were misfire codes. The whole bank 2 (cyl 5,6,7,8)
I would describe it as a huge vacuum leak. At first that’s what I thought it was. No big deal…lol! |

The groove shouldn’t be a problem according to the people I’ve been talking to. They said just to hit it smooth with a bit, then polish it smooth. |

It’s not that bad. It’s a great engine design, very Motorsport! Design DNA and simplicity of engineering is amazing.
