X5 - Back in action!!

Feeling very accomplished! After 2 weeks of working-on and staring-at my X - I completed the valve cover gaskets, front timing cover gaskets and valley pan, and cooling hose replacement.

Took it for a 25 mile drive around town yesterday and all seems well!!

On first start I did get some rough running a little surfing and misfires. Not sure if that's maybe due to air in the fuel injection system? Seems reasonable to me

All in all it was relatively drama-free. I did have an issue with the drivers side valve cover initially - I didn't have it seated down all the way and it was leaking oil with gusto. The middle plastic clip on the cover was hanging up a little

Serious thanks to this forum for the guidance and occasional emotional support!

On another note - my Chinese BMW Scanner 1.4 should arrive today. That should be a fun tool!!
