I feel like there has got to be a way to force people to fill out their signature or car info in the registration process.

Beisan Systems - Procedures - M62TU Vanos Procedure

your going to probably want to order a kit from these guys. Great write up as well.

this looks like a monster repair, are you sure you need?

My thought is what you "might as well" do the timing chain guides "while you're in there" for the Vanos repair.

well i bought the timing chain rePair kit but my mechanic said now he thinks it could be the vanos or the timing chain so i figured i might as well have him fix the vanos too when i bring the 4.4 in to the shoP
