You may or may not know that there is a set of special tool needed to check and align the cams on the LC.
I have made 2 of the tools. the TDC aligner and the Cam Chain Tensioner.
I would like to borrow the cam alignment tool so that I can make a copy.
If that's not an option I will take the cam cover off and take the measurements I need, but having the tool in hand is preferred.
Went and saw mister BMW this morning and the Alignment tool is only $42 ex Germany so I have one on the way, should be about 6 weeks.
The real expensive tools are the tensioner and TDC finder lock and I have made them already.
