M20 boredom

[sonomabimmers]

hey R3v at home sick today sitting around doing nothing. got nothing on the burner for the e30's so I'm finicking around cleaning my bay and random parts. forgive a noobish question. any maintenance things i can bust out while I'm at home bored? i already went and cleaned the ICV on my M20 and my M42. things of this nature. thanks for any suggestions help!

Since the E30s are so sensitive to vacuum leaks, smoke test is my favorite thing to do every 4 months or so.

Not much you can do with out tools or parts. Maybe take off the valve cover and intake manifold and paint them?

Thanks ya that's kinda the conclusion I've come too. I have ALOT of tools just not for valve adjustments. And ya painting is what I'll end up doing.

You do not need a lot of tools to do valve adjustment. See this.
