Spaz is Back and BOOSTED

I believe it's a valve guide going bad... cause I'm starting to blow smoke out exhaust and oil leaking in bay

awwww

Had the same prob wif the stock z3 guide in cyl 4 was allowing oil to seep by when hott

Hmm I am having an oil leak that looks just like yours spaz, right around the bolts of the hotside. I haven't torn into it yet, I'm interested in seeing what you figure out.

Last turbo I had leaked in the same place too. I figured it the turbo seals, but now it's got me thinking.

I'll be putting it back together tomorrow

Well I have that old 10 part video on how to pull the transmission and engine but I never made one on how to re-install the transmission. Since I blew second gear yet again I decided I would record the install.

I apologize and it's a new camera and my shop fan was turned on and holy crap it picked up that noise horribly! I actually made a comment to my GF that I want to take it all apart to redo the video and she about killed me :rotfl:

Anyways, here's my quick video. Took me around 4 minutes to pop that transmission into place.

So I went to Another Level Car Show this weekend in Schaumburg IL. Took 1st place best Acura. Had a great time. Instead of uploading a bunch of pictures I just made a quick picture video.

So I'm Port Matching another RBC intake manifold for a customer.

These are just some starter photos. I'm boring out to 70mm and port matching runners

started with runners. Mocked up gasket to check and mark how much to cut out

My goal is to clean up the runner smooth compared to factory rough

So I started removing material

And then smoothing out the runners like so
