That was after having an issues having an overheating problem, and my exhaust pipe got water split in it, non stop while running the engine...I google this type of issues before begin with the DIY project.. Then here the site that teach how to do so... For my problem, I need to do a Top Ovehaul or replace the Head Gasket... Here the site what I was talking about.. <a href="http://www.pelicanparts.com/bmw/techarticles/101-Projects-17-Head-Gasket/101-Projects-17-Head-Gasket.htm" target="_blank">http://www.pelicanparts.com/bmw/techarticles/101-Projects-17-Head-Gasket/101-Projects-17-Head-Gasket.htm</a>All the project been done before I send it to the workshop, and by that I do the DIY by myself... Or you can tell I do some experiment to learn more about car things... Because of funds problem I didnt send it to the workshop for the 1st place... So im doing it my self... Then made a mistake by breaking the camshaft... Then only by that, I send it to the workshop, after I had no Timing tools to do the camshaft timing, and the cost for the timing tools are more expensive than pay the Labor Charge to the Workshop... Skim the head was done by the workshop, they told me the charges for the skimming head was RM 300.. But I dont have any receipt given by the workshop to proff it that the actual head skim charge... They could only say that... That why I had a problem with trusting people... But I had to, because there is no other choice I had... Even with the Labor Charge only it cost me RM 1000, Total replace all things + labor cost me around RM 2.7K.... The workshop charge me for mistake they do, charge me the engine oil, because they see the oil mix with water and need to redo the oil changing. Not only that, when I was to get my car, I look there a water split from the water pump area... On the receipt given, they change the new water pump aswell and that doesn't look like they change it.... But lucky I saw it, then they replace the new water pump in front of my... The mech just said forgot to replace it.... That why I think I've been con.... Hope my experience could be share to all so you wont be the next victim like me... Better buy the Part your self dont let them buy it then charge you more than you buy it yourself :top:... Unless you know that workshop and trust them... I must said not all workshop will con people, maybe I just unlucky...So Roberto, about your question for the valve cleaning. Cleaning the valve Im using an Engine Cleaner Spray Foam + Metal Brush, I didnt remove the valve 1 by 1 to clean it... Only using camshaft to do the cleaning process... You know, when you put the camshaft at its place, you can see the valve will open, and by that time you do the cleaning, turn the camshaft for the next valve to be open.. Do the process for both Intake and Exhaust camshaft.... You can use any Engine Cleaning Spray that could remove the oil and dirt... The link I gave you got show how to do it to... :wink: Chears...</blockquote>
