People helping people. This thread warms my heart. Or maybe it's the tequila. Either way, my heart is warmed. ;)

Here's some pictures of the damage.
I was hoping to use the old spark plugs because they're 3 week old iridium (or whatever the hell it is) plugs, and I'd hate for them to go to waste.
From what we can see, it looks like a valve dropped and messed everything up BAD. I'm not sure this block can even be reused unless it's bored out past any damage inside the cylinder.

Cripes, that's some damage. Not sure you'd want to save much from that engine based on the amount of metal that circulated through it.
Dave sounds amazing. He could warm my heart with whiskey, take advantage of me, and I wouldn't even care.
Looking forward to seeing this one back on the road!

Notice how my skid plate is hanging? Apparently there's only 2 bolts (on front and center, and the second one on the passenger side) holding it on. I spun gold out of shit by using it to my advantage by swinging it out of the way instead of taking the whole thing off.
I spent about an hour and a half swearing at Ruby trying to get my front lip back on,
also skid plate removal not necessary because there is a cut out to get to the drain plug. great read so far. its nice to see my car continue to get lovei love bmws

Timing components. Spark plugs spark plug wires new timing chain tensioner valve cover gasket timing gasket oil pan gasket. Nothing really to the head though I guess
