Hi, Guys! Long time, no see! I've been lost since
the UOW 528i page was closed. Okay, here's the problem.
I've got an 80 528i auto with a cracked head. This
happened on Valentine's day (in Vegas, no less, 300 miles
from home). I towed the car back and it's been sitting
in my garage ever since. On the old InfoBoard, someone
gave me step-by-step directions for assuring that the valves
are timed correctly. I believe there was a TDC marking on
the valve train. Can anyone give me the instructions on how
to time the valves when I finally get around to putting
a new head on it? Winter's coming, and my summer car will have
to go into storage before it gets rainy. Besides that,
I miss my 5! If you can help, e-mail me at tedb@opticalres.com
Thanks!
