DrLeadFoot Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Maybe... depends on the s52. I just need to get the e30 rocking again. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Yes! Dream build! I'd love to have an e36 with an s54 or euro s50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 So I've been driving this thing daily. It still gets up and kinda goes when you want it to. Freeway fun time is still fun! After talking with Kyle, I'm going to pull the head with the motor in the car. Hopefully the problem is with the head. Cams if I don't have to rebuild the bottom end?? This will happen once I get the e30 running... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted August 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Well, it's gotten to that point. After driving for any distance over 2 miles it takes 5-20 cranks for it to fire up. http://www.adrianteo.com/files/cylinder-head%20_S54_.pdf It doesn't look too bad. Are s54 cams hollow like the s52's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
