      Hey dude8383, you said something about your brakes locking up? Are you sure it's the rear wheels and not the fronts? When I put my 1st brake booster in, my fronts were locking up way too much and did the same thing you did. I later then upgraded to the 944 booster and it cured my braking problems.
      I got a fender roller now! LMK if you need me to roll your fenders or want to rent the tool from me locally.

        nope definitely the rears because i lifted the car up and could barely turn them.

        it goes away after the car sits for some time...i have no idea what it is though.

          i take it back...all FOUR wheels are locked up.

          WTF is this shit??

          i am running the treehouse booster and i have a very good feeling this is a booster issue.

          however, i would like to stay with this booster. has anyone had any similar experiences?

            found this on bimmerforums...sounds very much like mine

            i kinda sorta forgot to soak my lifters in oil when i installed them. i just dipped them in oil and then installed. the motor sat for a long time before i started the car.

            i'm really starting to think my lifters just haven't fully "adjusted"

              There is a VERY easy way to tell if your lifters are sticking. Rev the motor to about 3000. If they are just sticking then they shouldn't be making any sound once they pump up at higher RPM's (unless they are just bad and have completely collapsed).

                Have you ever seen lifters completely collapse?

                With my S50, I learned to love the ticking...

                  Oh yea. They usually completely collapse if they are in a head that has been pulled and allowed to sit for extended periods of time. Then no matter what you can't get them to bleed. If you try and push on the bottom side of the lifter it should easily push down slightly.

                    Wow, I just have never experienced collapsed lifters before... Just lucky I guess.

                      haha well i would feel much better if my lifters collapsed rather than it being an issue on the bottom end.

                      oil pan is great by the way...no leaks :)

                        Glad it worked out, I would have been pissed if it was bad. Not only because of the Refund, but also because the guy I got it from has now screwed me about four times...

                              i checked all of them and it was DEFINITELY coming from there.

                              when i heard it, i was like...FUCK, this blows the big one.

                                Oh, and since your M50... YGPM.
