Matt welded your bung beautifully. Good job at making the audience laugh at the part, "You vs. the guy she told you not to worry about." That freaking stole the show. You did an ass ton of work and deserve a 100% thumbs up to Jake
Pretty heroic doing that without another pair of hands and eyes. The oil leakiness looks about right for 241k miles, but it isn't as oily underneath as John Ross's 944.
You don't have to remove the engine mount or jack up the motor. All I did was pop the control arm bushing off and pry down on the control arm which gave me enough room to remove the headers.
Great video, Jake. The way it was idling is totally normal for the first while. The computer has to recalibrate. As one sensor comes into range, another can go out. It does eventually settle down. Just beware of one thing: The ghost of Robert Bosch. The electrical system, beginning in about 1986, went to multiplexing. If the feedback is incorrect, weird, wild, and whacky things can happen. Using the O² sensor from another year, and one that is obviously different, could confuzzle the whole system. I have found it best always to use the original Bosch part that is peculiar to the car. I say this after 30 years of working on my 1990 Volvo 240 wagon. There is a reason Arthur is coming up on the 400,000 mile mark. Just changing the battery can cause some rough running for a bit.
I thought it was a pain to get the OEM manifolds off. With the huge cats. Heat shield. I was excited to install the long tubes that are catless! More room? No! Even more NO if you're keeping the bank 2 oxygen sensors which most of the cheapo sub 1,000 header require modification! And I recommend a 11mm extended long XXL
SAP ? What’s that? What is E- 46 ? What’s that ? I’m asking at the beginning not after the speal! Roll down the window and stick it out! You have 2 cars! Put a elbow on the exhaust for the O 2 sensor to prevent the sensor from hitting!Arrrg your gassing yourself ☠️ can’t you bypass so you don’t get the codes on exhaust cat/ air pump to rid the pop up codes?
I always come here for all of my bung hole content, Thanks again

Looking forward to the day I can drop the pan and re-seal this thing
I don't even care what the videos about, you had me with the thumbnail
just a small correction, european e46s did get this but not in every country. mine has one, german delivery package from the factory.
Nice work Jake! Always exciting to have a well running BMW, however long it lasts 😂

Great editing. Love the bolts appearing and disappearing on the valve cover.
Happy Friday Jake!
I've been meaning to fix mine for a while!
I just used a 90 degree fitting. I wasnt able to shoot flames w/o the pre cat 02.
Hello, you have adapted the O2 sensors to prevent them from malfunctioning. Or does the fault light not come on after adaptation?
Wart moodel is your e46!? Mine does not have that other thing connected to the SAP

Do you pass inspection after this ?
Hey Elliott!
That thumbnail is so much more attention grabbing than that other mechanic lol
Why yes, I do prefer skin on my knuckles. F.
that was funny
