Don't forget to lube the cap part of the bolts along with the threads (it is in the ARP instructions, but it's easy to miss).

Just wanted to confirm that this S54 BMW tool I purchased does work with the Dinan pulley to rotate the engine.

You're almost there! And your engine looks so clean inside!!
Do you think the pulleys are a detriment to keeping temps at the track under control? |

They are mainly metal, interesting design choice for street mounts no doubt. Hoping those inner rubber parts provide some street comfort at least! Will know soon enough.

I had my concerns about this as my steering wheel wasn't perfectly straight after I lowered the car but after driving the car a bit center is actually center and my wheels do appear to turn equally in each direction at full lock. My backup plan was to have the lower steering joints adjusted with my upcoming alignment but I don't think that will be needed (beyond what is typically done in an alignment of course). Glad you asked and I hope others have some thoughts on this as well.

Have you ever sent your oil sample? If so can you share the numbers? And I highly respect Rod bearing replacement on a Jack.
