Derflaminflitzer Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 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. I love my E39 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungCR Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 and get a license plate frame...... strange request, I know. I have some genuine BMW frames if you want a set! I agree these cars look wrong without plate frames. Otherwise this looks fantastic I love my E39 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 At higher revs? M20? ROCKER It is an m42. Is it timing related again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 He did the guides already. He just put the motor back in after sourcing a new one due to the idler gear snapping off of the timing case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Sorry to hear that. I don't imagine that being fun, but at least it will go faster this time around with all the hardware loosened up and knowing how to get to it all.I know you mentioned wanting to keep the engine stock but there have been quite a few 6 cylinder engines for sale in the area recently.

Derflaminflitzer Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derflaminflitzer Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 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 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derflaminflitzer Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Glad the knock is gone but I dont know how the chain would have stretched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 How did the sprockets look? Have you run the engine for a while? When i fire up my m50 after storage it rattles badly and you need to hold the rpms around 3k for a minute or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derflaminflitzer Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
