If you would have bought me the trans, drive shaft, diff, swap pan, booster and all the other piddly shit that goes along with the swap I would have. For $400 I can drive my car again. Ill take it. If I swap the car for a 24 valve or anything other than stock motor I would rather do something a lot cooler than an m50. My theory is...it would suck really bad to swap my car for performance gains and still get shit on by an STI or some stupid shit of the sort lol

Shes back on the road! Running better than ever too. Thanks to Snap lending me that clutch tool
byno means would I call myself a mechanic but I do know my way around an m42 now... that's for sure. Besides the physical aspect of using the picker to pull the motor and then placing the new one back in, I did all that shit by myself. Working on it for two solid nights and some random bits here and there in between. Not bad for a rookie. And by the way, if anyone ever wants to swap an e36 m42 into an e30 you have to swap way more shit than the internet says you do lol -
You are more than welcome to come play with me earl

I should be able to tell you if that is true tomorrow
maybe even tonight. Depends on how much I hustle. -
Im getting pretty good with the old m42 deconstruction haha took me about four hours to get this one out by myself
-
here we go again
-
Wibimmers would look cool. Not sure how I feel about the state flag
-
all the guides are brand new the sprockets look good the bearings in the idler gear look good everything looks good. I'm just not sure what's causing that rattling. It sounds like the chain. Maybe the one lifter that failed causing the knock has a blocked oil passage leading to it partially starving that lifter of oil until it fails. I'm not positive though I'm just going to run it and see what happens. If it does it again then I know there is a crazy issue.

Took my engine apart and back together tonight. Swapped cams, trays and lifters from my old head and the knock is gone. Still have a weird rattling. Think the chain is stretched. Fuck it for now I guess lol
-
I knew you saw me haha wash that tHing!I saw you take that picture hahahah.
no one "texts" with their phone that high over the steering wheel
also, I have yet to wash that car .....
-
chased this guy downin my chico-tech vue this afternoon....that poor e30 gettin beat down and driven all dirty like
-
I mean if somebody needs a kidney or half of my liver I would give it to them if they would put a 24 valve in my e30 for me :-)
-
Fuck yea it did. I would swap a 24 valve in it in a heartbeat but I don't have the funds to do so right now. I would even consider putting and I'm 20 minutes but also don't really have the cash and all the parts to do it
-
I bet its the same thing again earl
-
Its ok. Something in the engine just let loose. Sounds likea bag of marbles are rattling around in the head
-
Tucks dem 15" blizzaks like a mofo haha
-
My car looked funny with the new wheels and all that wheel gap. So I fabbed up these bitchin coilovers that me scrape my ass all over town. Aka cut a half a coil too much. These are the results. Still looks tits in my opinion.
-
Just swapped in a different m42 into my sedan and when I cracked the lower pan off there were 4 bolts in there...I think the upper pan shifted due to this and the oil pickup is now sucking in air not allowing proper pressure to build. Glad you caught yours at just one bolt.
-
Fcp euro has lifetime guarantee on all their stuff. Great cut service too. I email a sales rep and they email me back within an hour. if my car didn't take a crap again I would be returning a kit that I bought -1 part and they were going to reimburse me the difference. Pretty cool guys
-
I bought an m42 off craigslist....I need to drive my car since I have been bumming rides off everyone I know haha lets just hope it runs huh? Ill let you all know this weekend I hope
-
I see cleaner non-running cars that I would rather have than some of the shitbox "good runners" some people post for 2k plus that are smashed and would cost double that to make look decent again. Just my opinion though.

timing belts sounds like my best friend right now hahaThat's a real bummer, sorry to see that happened. Glad you at least made it home, seems kind of miraculous!
This is exactly the sort of thing that comes to mind when I hear people say that they got rid of an M20 because they dont want to deal with timing belts.

My name is Earl, and I have a Stainless Steel bolt fetish =)
