Little bmw motor build update
 

Today had its issues but went well overall. One major hang up I had was that the pin that the timing chain guide sits on was knicked up so I ordered a new one. Well, that was easy, but the hard part was getting the old pin out! My friend welded a bead around the end of the pin and we used a pair of vice grips welded to a slide hammer to get it out. Worked! After that it was smooth sailing, mostly.

The only stuff left to do is the timing chain tensioner, bolt the head down on the studs, and then put the cams in and valvecover on for good.

ah yeah its linked there, cool.

I don't know how HMT is about cross-linking to other forums. I have an all-inclusive huge build up thread on bimmerforums I can link to if allowable.

Dude you can basicly call a moderator a -------face assfuck. I don't think they'll mind a direct link to a bimmer forum.

I've been looking at this more lately, since I've decided once I get a 'real' job after school, I'll be using MS to tune my own inline-6 powered car, and so far a '95 M3 with the 3.0L seems to be the best bet. Cept I want a good weekend car that has good power but fast spool.
