I would try the self tap screw first and the other suggestions before doing a head pull. Man I feel bad for you though, because that's one of the worst places to have that happen with the amount of room you have to work. I was worried when I was replacing my head coolant connector of doing the same thing. Lesson learned for me is to never get the non oe parts for something like that. I ordered an OEM instead on fcpeuro and the fitting was a pita to get it right versus the oe part. Really BMW should have put a third bolt back there to make sure it sealed. |
