yes, not original bmw e9
but it would be like a nordbrabantblau in your case
this is nice,...

have not seen what others use as support at the bottom
plates and rubber share the force in a wider surface, leaving the valves free to move
these long studs give the chance of a free space under the head to leave the valves open freely

When wood has issues, there is work to do,
missing wood could be replaced
Using wood paste, this one has reinforcing fibers, and becomes very strong.

interesting tip from @stphers : “ just a word of caution, we had this at the 3 different dealerships that I worked at and saw more than one tech, bend 2 or more valves using this tool. As you tighten down the tool and the valves get opened, they can hit each other and bend does not take much best to rotate the adjuster to give max clearance on each valve and watch carefully as you tighten the tool down
Thanks, Rick”
Must check
so, done, and tested,
works great:
remove oil bar
as @stphers mentioned, set the eccentric so that you get the maximium gap
place tool
free
even so...
you must really go tight, as the central supports of the cam are really big and hit the rockers
done
it makes this job super easy,
i did this some years ago using screwdrivers and it was a PIA

hi
i have a question as to the original tool
what is the use of the wooden piece that can be seen here arrowed n green?

some advice
i found really surprising the tight contact that the valves make when you press them (despite of course increasing valve gap to maximum before proceeding)
the fact is that to avoid the top of the cams you do not need as much pressing as what you need to let the two central supports to pass through the intake rockers numbers, 2 and 4
as you can see in the picture, in the way out (orange arrow), the highest elements are not the cams, but the two central supports of the camshaft arrowed in green, that interfere with intake rockers number 2, and 4
funny enough, when the supports pass behind the mentioned rockers the camshaft falls a bit and the rest goes very smoothly
during the process i checked the contact between the valves below, at the begining there was no contact, you reach contact but you can still turn them with your hand, but you are still unable to remove the camshaft, you have to go a bit farther to be able to remove it, just make it in small increments, and go continuously testing it

Painting the plastic reflectors inside the tail lights,
went very well….
this is a heat resistant paint
went very well….
this is a heat resistant paint
Working on the tail lights was practically the first thing I did when I got my car. Hardly anything was working back there. It's kind of dangerous even when the lights are working so without - yikes!
Now I'm wondering if I thought to use heat resistant paint...
Use these and forget about heat, buy these red 1156 led bulbs for tail and stop lights but not turn signals.
Hello, I tell you the trick, I use it for turn signal light but didn't blink I add a one turn signal aftermarket relay for each bulb you need 4 relay and it works it is blinking and it very bright turn signal try it if you want bright turn signal
so, and so, head continue, ...
plan back...
