Re: To; 'Eggraid' re 740i rough running ? ! !

try 'rear intake manifold cover'....here's a list from my head, i'll try to post the part #'s by Tues.
a. rear intake cover
b. " " " gasket
c. small vacuum plug
d. large " "
e. (7) cover bolts [ 6X20mm i think ]

THE big problem in replacing the cover with the manifold on the car is straight/square/axial access to the lower (4) [i think] cover bolts, [ on the rear of the intake manifold ]. you'll need fresh[new] 'male' TORX socket T25 or T30 [i'm home now and can't recall]. the trick is not to 'round-off' or damage the bolt heads trying to loosen them and they'll be tight.........personally, i usually remove and reseal the complete intake manifold since all the gaskets are the same material and will harden and leak with age...........it might be easier for me as i do this repair often and want to do a thorough job for my customers after explaining the + & - 's of the two options..........sometimes complete removal is required when the cover bolts won't loosen but this is rare...........jb.
