For torquing those two hard to reach fasteners you could measure the length of your wrench, do the math to calculate how much equivalent force needs to be applied, and use a piece of string tied to your wrench and a spring scale to get it really close.
Hello, I bought a tool from Bmw that works great removing all ig coil packs, it's a rachet wrench style with broken end pivot and of course slotted head attach zone. (Source were found on bmw1600 forum) Question. After valve cover bolts removed, what best way to remove cover? Saving the gasket if possible
Air distribution line was great fun to remove, I think I send about 1 hr heating and gently prying out. I managed to remove it in one piece but I was really sweating. I put on the rubber seals that go into openings some high temperature rubber lubricant to ease up next removal.
I probably overheated mine a little but they pop in and out a little easier now. I have no idea what BMW was thinking there. I've got a theory one could find some off the shelf plumbing and some quick disconnects to each of the 3 connect points that would take the place of that dumb piece of plastic.
Great vids guy! I'm impressed and you took your time. What state you live in? I have a GT and would love to save $$$ and do this myself but man, what a bunch of steps we have to take just to get to the valves lol.
