Replacement motor - check

[fareast1]

What else..

So i have sourced a replacement N52B30 for my X5. Besides the obvious coolant, oil etc. What else should I be ordering now so it will be on hand when the motor goes in?

I replaced all the cooling hoses already. I probably should replace all of the vacuum lines-right? What else should FCP be putting in a box for me?

*Its a used high mileage motor from one of the other guys on here.

Thanks in advance!

This is a slippery slope! I just had my motor rebuilt completely and replaced EVERYTHING plastic, and most metal things, under the hood. It cost a lot... But in the end, getting to just about any of the simple parts that fail after 100K cost way more in labor than in parts, so I thought it'd be better to just get it all over with at once.

Eeks! Thanks for the reply Laselvasurf. Agree, its much easier out of that cavity

I went ahead and ordered the breather and vacuum hoses. Cant think of anything else.
Thanks for the help!

FCP has cyberweek going on now! Perhaps cancel and reorder to save 10%+?

Ha! That would have been nice Chemist, I checked I would only save six bucks.
