Does tightening to torque angle matter too much? Can I just torque to the required NM and not worry about Torque angle? Or should I wait and buy the tool tomorrow to measure torque angle?

[Steven]

Also, to the people that know 24v engines, when it comes time to time the engine and reassemble the vanos section of the engine, I'm going to need help. If anyone is willing to lend a hand I'd be forever in debt to you and could help you with anything you need (I've done everything from timing belts to wheel bearings) and might also be able to throw in a bit of cash...

Torque angle is very important. Also, gonna need the vanos tools to do it rite.

Do you mean for the head bolts? Yes it matters. If you tighten to the torque spec and do not tighten further then they will be undertorqued.

For you 24v swappers, might be kind of one of you to answer my question.

0n the s52 head, there is a coolant port and sensor plugged in. If u deleted the small coolant port on the T-pipe (replaces the spider hose), what do u do with the small coolant port in the head?

Do i leave the old sensor and replace coolant port with the E30 sensor or do i replace the the old sensor and leave the coolant port alone and just connect it to the T-pipe? (which unfortunately, i cut off already and is about to get welded shut)

Well if you're running the engine as OBD1 in an E30 you'll need two sensors. One for the DME and one for the gauge. I've seen some people re-thread the E30 sensor and install it in that hole for the coolant nipple.

Hmm... Shit $300 on a tool right now doesn't sound too nice...

there was a guy selling a vanos rebuild kit on the norcal bmw owners page I think
