That tilt one can get stiff and reluctant to move. You probably already know this, but it moves both ways and you push it forward to raise/lower the front part of the seat, and back to do the same to the rear. Since you've lubed it, I'm surprised it isn't cooperating, does the lever feel like it's m...

There's a guy in San Rafael who did one, I think I sold him the bellhousing and flywheel, he kept the vacuum booster though. I'm staged for it, I've got the bellhousing, a lightweight motronic flywheel and a motronic cam (with L-jet adapter in place currently) in it currently, with L-jet manifolds, ...

On 530's it was for EGR, and you're right on what it's an acronym for, and on 528i's it was for O2 sensor replacement. Might have also been for Thermo reactor check on 530's, I can't remember at the moment, but on either, there are two buttons and I've found the reset procedure to be push both of th...

Echoing T.Hanson's comments, be careful about exactly where the cam lobes are when you are adjusting the valves. Make sure they are pointed down, not just not lifting the valve, it can be deceptive about how early the cam actually does come into play, I did that once and got a very noisy valve. :oops:

FYI, the 79 harnesss probably won't have the pin for the o2 sensor. You can unplug the harness, solder a small wire to the pin on the ecu and run it thru the hole in the plug to connect to an O2. Gently guide the wire thru the plug while plugging back up to the ecu. Don't remember the pin #, but it...
