HTML:

It's very straight forward HTML - if opened in FireFox, thumbnails will show, but DIV's vertical scroll bar won't. If opened in MS FrontPage, the thumbnails will show in the editor browser. Go figure.

The thumbnails are EXACTLY 40x30 pixel thumbnails - no re-sizing. Must be an IE bug - mystery to me, but I'd be TRULY grateful if someone could figure out the problem there!!! I've spent probably 3 hours trying to figure it out with no success.

REGULATOR VALVE:

I think I guessed where each ball goes just playing around (BIGGEST to smallest LEFT to right in pic), but will anxiously await the true answer - as well as on the smaller screw-in with two holes - how-far-to-compress-spring question.

So rust will not hurt the cast iron for a long, long time? I'm planning to put a LOT of things back together this Saturday, so I'm tempted to skip rust problem. Cleaned from front to back, ALL sheilds, new drive shaft and center bearing, new tranny mounts, exhaust (of course), new O2 sensor, cleaned diff with new diff mount, seals, and oil. It was a BIG, DIRTY JOB - should have been on the show.

Do I need to get the diff oil from BMW? It's a limited-slip diff - S316 if I remember right.
