The whole engine I going to be rebuilt, new rockers, new valve guides, springs, head gaskets, valve covers, timing chain, and guides. Just pulled trans to rebuild that as well. got skid plates fabbed for the undercarriage. Last thing is going to be to swap the tcase to make it a true 4X4

Phwoar. I'm liking the sounds of this!

Drivers side acle
Well, I've been an X5 owner for a week. Bought this rig with 88,000 miles. I noticed it had a torn drivers side CV boot. I opted to just replace the whole axle shaft. I did notice when I was under it, the passenger side has been replaced before. It took me about two hours to actually r&r it. I spent a little while cleaning the back side of my rims. They were greasy/dirty so cleaned them up too.

Yep,a very steady hand but very ,very slow job and I was scared shi*less everytime I went to cut it and dremel it ..Not doing that again ,at my age
ButI think it was worth it in the end,now it just needs "wrapping up"
