Thanks for the quick tip! Car is pulling super hard left now and its getting tiring to drive and putting constant correction.

Alright guys the head is off, Now how should I go about cleaning this bish up? What do I do aout the valves? I want to make sure they're straight and clean off any carbon. Also My cylinders look good, you can see the hatch marks from the machining process. My #1 piston has more carbon on the top than any of the others. Is there anyway to clean this without having to take apart the bottom end? Pics to come in a sec...

^ I once knew a dude that went by Jnasty. A year after we graduated high school, he became a woman. Now it's JaeNasty

Haha, that's unfortunate. On bimmerf im JN528i but on here that doesnt make sense. And being that no one can say my last name JNasti will have to suffice!

Thanks Danny! That worked and now my car's all good. Just need to wash it, but I love the new coils and cross brace. 425/750 is definitely not too uncomfortable from what I can see so far. Do you guys have any tips on helping slalom-like movements? I feel like there's still a bit to be gained there. I'll be putting on my new subframe/ta/diff bushings soon too.

You guys dealt with Flash23? (he's a southern CA r3v-ver). I sent him money for some style 5 caps and he said that he was busy with work and will have them sent out the next day, it's been a few days and really no tracking or contact with me. I don't like putting people in blast about their transactions/businesses but a formal complaint might be enforced. Let me know guys.

[Vivek]

I've heard some bad things about him..

get a 3" brass round brush that attaches to a drill. it's only $5. that's what I use to decarbonize the pistons and clean any metals parts of gasket that is stuck on it.

Sort of around 1:00-1:30 in this video. I know a vert will never handle like that, but that's the sort of stuff i'm talking about.

I went to an autocross today with a friend. I didn't drive or anything but seeing my friend rip around in his GTI made me really wish my car was at a point where I could safely autocross it.
