if you can get in and not get raped for the costs, all the BMW dealers should have the BMW wlanit blast machine to do the work. I can do it, but it makes such a mess I am not geared up to do it yet. Maybe later in November. Its not like I have a team of super techs working doing stuff. Its just me, Gloria and four different machinists and fabricators work making our stuff.

You're over thinking it, work the three ports that have the valves closed (verify with a flashlight) when you're done with those three put the car in 4th and roll it back while shining a light and stop the car when the valves are closed. You can see the back of the valves and you will know when they are shut. If you're worried about it change the oil after.

Alright it is all written out. Just need to upload pics and then do some editing since I need to break them into two topics. Ill have it done by the end of tonight unless something comes up.
Edit: like my memory card with my photos becoming corrupted... awesome.

Decided out of the blue today to take a look at my valves after my poorly done hand job at 50k km's last summer. It just so happens a local group member bought some media and an air gun and two buds where already doing there's when I showed up at the vancity garage. Once done they looked pretty good, blasting took all of 15 minutes, while hitting them with a pick set took a good hour+ for all the hard buildup.
Total job time 3 hours with lots of comments from the peanut gallery
