Regarding the silicone hoses, I have been looking for ages with no luck so far.
There are plenty out there for the diesel ones kits, individual hoses etc, if you can find a source let me know i'll do the
same.

i will have a look.

got more of the engine now, supercharger is off, and so is the manifolds that bolts onto it...

next is the exhaust manifolds to come off then while im under the car i will look at getting the old gas pipe out as well.

wish me luck

Are you going to get the valve seats checker out while they are off I highly recommend it if it’s had gas Current stable:
2006 BMW M6
2007 4.2 V8 S/C FF
Gone:
2002 4.4 V8 FF

it had the system in there but no tank in the boot, so i dont know if it was every hooked up?

where would i find the valve seat checker?

I know what you mean but they can also go on petrol too just not as quickly. I know a place in leads an Cambridge you just need an engine workshop to check it over the kind of place that can skim heads etc id imagine. Current stable:
2006 BMW M6
2007 4.2 V8 S/C FF
Gone:
2002 4.4 V8 FF

i still dont know if these heads can be skimmed?

im hoping that they are alright to be honest and i can just straight re-build with ned gaskets

Btw have you got the heads off yet? Though of an obvious way to check the valves need doing... just look at the valve clearance when you take the rocker covers off - if they are not right then get them done Current stable:
2006 BMW M6
2007 4.2 V8 S/C FF
Gone:
2002 4.4 V8 FF

Almost got them off but havent quite got all the chains off yet.

i also need to find a technical listing for re-setting the timing on the rebuild.
