Anyways, after all the mess, numerous rags and a contact high from an assortment of degreasers even through my painters mask, I couldn't be happier with the results. I just finished drying out the manifold and reinstalling the swirl flap assembly back into place.

My new, repurposed acronym when working on the BMWs: TGIF - Thank God I'm Finished
