Brian. Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Oh I know. Stanceworks is way worse. If you don't daily update your thread with new 3pc rims, or some crazy suspension shit, you get lost in the sauce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StewCrew Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 removable core support is a great idea. interested to see how you will do yours. I agree. I'm hoping to copy him I first saw the idea on r3v, but Im going to do it a bit differently. Hopefully lots of pictures and updates to come tonight to get this thread back on track. Even if I wasnt going to replace the core support anyway I think this is an awesome idea for an car/e30. Hopefully it goes well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm in for this! Hope you get a ton done tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewCrew Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Mini update:MLS head gasket and 1-piece timing chain tensioner have been ordered! These are the last of the parts needed (I think at least) to put my motor back together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Did you get that 1/4" head gasket I refereed you to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I will make my front-end removable one of these days. I didnt even need an engine hoist back in high school when I swapped a 2.0 16v into an 85 Golf. I simply rolled the engines in and out on furniture dollies. The I6+transmission reaches some pretty steep angles on its way in and out of an E30 otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how I'll probably do it next time around. Especially if you have a lift or engine table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewCrew Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Did you get that 1/4" head gasket I refereed you to? Went with a 4" mls gasket. I want my plastic fuel rail cover to stick out of the hood. I will make my front-end removable one of these days.
