Snap-on Magnetic Oil Drain Plug Remover
Angry Ass BMW M88 & S38B35 thermostat assembly n No matter how quick you are with your hands, anyone who has removed a sump drain plug has been left with hot oil all over their hands or gloves. Or, even worse, they’ ve dropped the plug into a container of dirty oil. Unless, that is, if they had Snap-on’ s Magnetic Oil Drain Plug Remover. Once the sump plug is loosened, you attach the magnet and twist. Two flats on either side of the magnet allow it to work with a variety of hex bolts, and a flexible cable means it can be used in small spaces. The magnet then holds onto the plug as it comes out of the drain hole, and oil pours over the end of the tool and not onto your fingers.

n BMW Motorsport’ s 3.5-litre straight six – the M88 and S38 found in the M1, M635CSi and early M5s – is a true great from one of the world’ s best engine manufacturers. But these engines are getting old now and some components are beginning to fail, such as the thermostat assemblies.
American-based BMW specialist, Angry Ass, hasn’ t just started to remanufacture the thermostat housing; it’ s improved it with better materials and finishes. The new assembly is a direct replacement for the original and comes with OEM hardware and an 80 ° C thermostat.

n Why have a big American V8 if it isn’ t going to make that lumpy rhythmic intimidating idle, known as chop? Summit Racing understands the appeal of this and has created its Big Nasty range, a new set of cams to accentuate that pure American noise.
The Big Nasty cams are designed to open the exhaust valve early, before bottom dead centre. Strong residual cylinder pressure explodes past the exhaust valve, and that gives you the distinctive chop.
The Big Nasty cams don’ t just make a great noise, though. They also make great mid-range power, and are ideal for engines that are being revved to 6000rpm. The cams are heattreated before the final polish, too, which gives a 360 ° concentric case hardening depth.
