From the looks of that valley pan I'd say it was more than preventative maintenance... I'd call it full blown repairs.

Quite a first post though. Welcome to the family!

Nice work! I had to do the same a couple years ago. The BMW Diaries Valley Pan Repair.

Do you have any more photos or tips to share?

Damn! I really freaked out I thought you accidentally (or your enemy!) pour some god-knows-what-liquid-it-was in your engine!

Buddy are you really sure its all good?! (after your MINOR repairs!) If so well... huh... dont do it that lightly next time! Thats kind of sh*t once they sip into the cylinders... you are as good as buying a new engine!

Anyway in this place we have lots of geniuses... they can do a DIY by stripping the whole engine while playing with their kids at home!

the fluid looks bad in the pic but it was actually pretty clear n clean its supposed to be orange dont know what brand my mechanic used when he did my waterpump it didnt bother me since i was going to do a cooling overhaul and everything under the sun as soon as it got warm out. Yes i did start to take pics in the beginning but soon became very time consuming.
