So the problem you have when you've built a private shop to fix cars is YOU HAVE TO USE IT.

But really, getting the valve cover off an N52 out of the E90 engine bay is a complete PIA. I look forward to the Z4... you just buy a new valve cover and go from there.

The E90 is all wrapped up. I broke the oil breather hose (of course). A little JB Weld and a 1/2 copper pipe butt connector and we'll she how she does tomorrow.

I remember when BMWs were designed to be repaired. Gotta love Bentley... "Remove the oil breather hose from the rear of the valve cover..." No shit Sherlock... but HOW?
