Not to mention you’ve got the entire forum behind you.
Make life easy for yourself. I used a 4 shelf garage shelving unit and labeled the top shelf “driver”, second shelf “passenger”, third shelf “intake and misc” and put the big parts on the bottom shelf.
I then made some quick labels for CPS upper, CPS lower, Vanos in, Vanos ex, etc, etc and as I removed pieces parts I laid them by their respective label. I also didn’t throw away ANY of the old pieces parts until I was ready to put that respective piece back on the car - Example I left the o-rings on the Vanos solenoids until I picked them up to put them back in, then I caned the old ones and put the new ones on. Did the same for my VC bolts, CPS o-rings, eccentric shaft sensor gaskets, etc.
Biggest concern I had, believe it or not, were the brackets on the timing covers and alternator and how they went on their respective components, take a decent picture of those and you’ll be solid!
Oh... and snap a pic of those Vanos plugs too [emoji12]
