525i need some bits

Recommended Posts

I heard rockers were cheap as chips from BMW.

I would suggest you access the damage first though. Snapped rocker can cause havok

i had the head and cam components all checked at a local repair shop just bent 5 valves and it snapped the rocker arm

the man tells me there $58+gst per valve. il check bmw tommrow then thanks for that.

also would it be worth fitting a funky cam i would think now would be a good time to do so,what does everyone recomend and what cost?

i would be keen aswell for some quotations.,

soon i'll be rebuilding whole engine including head, so I'm looking for good prociues for

bearings (main and rod)

gasket sets (top and bottom)

piston rings

possibly few rockers, possibly few valves

would be nice to replace all bolts...

once again, it is sad, but the chaeapest place i can get stuff from is US....

once again all NZ retailers I know of are charging ridicolous prices, i.e.

stealer quoted me $500 for a set of rings anf $over400 for main bearing set.

auckland's segadins was somewhat better.

cheapest were probably auckland engine reconditioners (they probably get trade prices somewhere and get it much cheaper and sell with profit)....

any pointers/hints would be greatly appreciated.
