I've used this twice before with great results. With an E throttle it's impossible to do this with one person so, I just run 6 ft of vacuum line from its nozzle to the boost bypass vacuum port, allowing me to spray the can and keep the cars rpm at 2500.

Lower oil pan off, NO METAL SHAVINGs, BUT, there was some rtv sealant particles on the oil pump pick up screen, I carefully cleaned them off. my fault for using a dab of rtv to seal the oil drain bolt. Other than that the pan was all clean.

Broke this torx bolt off removing the oil pan. This bolt gets the coolant wash when the water pump goes. it's an open hole on the top so the coolant sets up as a kind of thread locker after so many heat cycles.

It was a pain to get out. But going slow with a big pair of Visegrips did the trick.

ALWAYS chase the threads of problem nuts or bolts if possible before re installing new or used hardware.

The oil level/temp sender mounts to the oil pan, nothing wrong with mine but Jag wanted $25 JUST FOR THE DAM SEAL! I found one at a local seal specialty store for $.97..lol

I just wonder why Jag uses so many of these weak ass torx fasteners. The stamping out of the star actually takes away metal from where you need it when a torque load (tightening or loosening) is put on it, MB found this out when they tried to use them for head bolts. I swap them out for flange bolt whenever possible.

And ran it in to the boost bypass valve vacuum port, and now I can spray the can empty from the drivers seat.

This is the set up I'm using for the plugs this time. A 13mm Gear Wrench coupled using a Gear Wrench 3/8 wrench drive. It works well and the short size not gives you a better feel for what the socket and plug are doing, it limits your torque in tightening.

It's pretty straight forward. You will need a set of belt servicing tools to release the tensioners. Mine from Harbor freight worked just fine.

You will be removing all of the tensioners and idlers, so have a diagram of the set up and belt routing handy.

REMEMBER THIS IS AN ALUMINUM BLOCK SO EASY ON THE ANTI SEIZE! TOO MUCH CAN LET YOU OVER TIGHTEN AND RIP THE THREADS OUT.

Removing this vent hose gives you more room to service the left bank plugs, mine was cut so I replaced it.

The best way to remove this squeeze retainer because of its location is to press one side at a time while pressing the hose back towards the firewall.

This is the vent tube that attaches to the top of the throttle body and back of the left valve cover, removing it will give you some much needed space when changing the plugs. Mine was cut so i was replacing it.

The best way to remove this tube is to release it from the throttle body, then while pushing it back, release the squeeze couple by pressing on one side at a time.

I bought this aluminum valve body seal on the advice of a buddy who races his ZF equipped BMW regularly. The plastic onon the right will deform under high loads, leading to slippage and heat.

The 8mm allen i cut down for the trans fill plug. The cut off section is what i use with an 8mm Gearwrench to remove the diff fill plug.

I found it easier to remove the trans mount to service the metatronic sleeve, if you do this support the trans and motor at their joining flange, this gets the jack out of the way of any trans work.

Looks good, use a wet towel over the exhaust pipe to keep from getting burned by the exhaust while filling it with trans fluid.

Looks good, tip = a wet towel around the exhaust will keep you from getting burned as the exhaust heats up fast with the engine running for the fluid fill.
