a day of new beginnings . . .

ok so i started this blog with the anticipation that i would track the dismantle and assembly of the 320i . . . thus far i have been far more consumed with the actual work instead of documenting the steps involved i have been busy either working or recovering from the work . . . so . . . today is a day of new beginnings . . .

at around 5:45 tonight jonathan, noah, and owen were in the driveway working on the installation of kenwood speakers into the back of jonathan's honda civic . . . as the frustration was peaked to the point that dad was needed for direction the brown ups truck came into sight . . . that's unusual because where we live is at a cross roads and when i saw the brown ups truck i knew he was headed to our house . . . he had 3 boxes for us . . .

the 3 boxes were filled with new engine parts from ireland engineering . . . schrick cam (292) 4 new domed pistons, stainless steel valves, schrick dual spring valve springs . . . new rod bearings, new main bearings, a new over sized aluminum radiator, lots of small stuff that the rest of the family just thought, "ah, yeah great, more bolts and stuff" . . . little did they know . . . and last but not least . . . and oil cooler!! . . .
