Day 10: I finally made a punchlist of my remaining work—52 steps, but I got through nine of them today. Can't get too cocky, tho; one of the steps is simply "rebuild transmission."

Today's accomplishments included removing the intake manifold and replacing all of the crankcase vent system components. Also replaced the manifold and throttle body gaskets and the DISA (resonance intake) valve, then put it all back together. Oil pan next. #WeirdCarMastodon #EngineSwap #WrenchEveryDay #E39 #M54

Just dropped a new short on my YouTube channel featuring the M54 eastbound! Don't miss out on the stunning views and exciting journey. And stay tuned for tomorrow's release of the westbound trip. #roadtrip #timelapse #M54 https://youtube.com/shorts/InTD1mkB9LQ?feature=share
