R56 R56 MCS Forged Low Comp Build Thread (with questions!)
#28
I got it on the road as of Saturday afternoon. Completed 620 miles of the running in so far. Couple of small issues. I think we haven't timed the vanos perfect (probably to do with cam chain tension when locking in the cam sprocket bolts) so we have a vanos code throwing up. Otherwise going well. Will complete 1000 miles by the weekend and re-address the vanos issue. Been a long road but great to have it driving again . I have much more to update but been busy. Ie all the final build stuff and the pre start up lube process including watching all the under piston oil squirters to make sure all is working before we bolted on the sump etc. Ask away for any questions. Cheers

There didn't seem to be much interest in projects here so I did a big update and will continue to update on another mini forum called "Minitorque" which has a section for project builds.
I think the link below should work. It's too much work to keep two threads going! :-)

I have made another update to the minitorque forum post.

The exhaust manifold spacer and feed to the second exhaust manifold has been fabricated and put in place. Might be of interest to some.
