I could probably do it haha. The guides weren't too bad, just time consuming. Dropping the K member to do the rod bearings was a pita.
I'll be dropping the K-member/subframe for some welding and powdercoating anyway. If interested in the job(s) PM me with what you are thinking. Car is on a lift in a heated/cooled shed with good lighting.

hopefully this will be ready for spring. I would like to see it at a meet
It's been going back together lately, the top end is buttoned up and I got the upper oil pan on tonight. I've got another parts order to make, but it's coming along.
I am late to this thread but how amazingly clean is that car? I got my e34 540 from Texas and I can't believe how clean it is. That state mummifies cars. I'd buy every car I ever own from that state if I could.
It's stupid clean haha, even the exhaust is rust free. It's a nice change of pace from my beater haha. I was hosing it off today with a garden hose after work, and blew a golf ball sized hole threw the passengers door lmao.

So here is where all of the little pieces of timing chain guide went... that's pretty f@cking terrifying. Really hoping this screen and the oil filter have done their jobs lol.

holy shit. I don't have a better response for that image lol

The bolts that hold the pump itself together? Or that hold the pump to the engine? Either way they were all tight.
I think I'll be doing an oil change after the first 50 miles just to try and get any left over pieces out, or at least a filter change.

Nice work, looking forward for more updates.

I've had them both loosen on the m60b30's. One motor had 3 pump case bolts out and several loose and the other had one mounting boot out.
I'd locktight them all when you put the pump back in so you don't have to worry about it later.
-
Ah alright, I was thinking of disassembling it and cleaning it, I'll add some loctite when I go back together.
-
Oil pump is in with loctite, drivers side window regulator is unfucked, picked up the last remaining parts I need to be able to drive it finally. ...annnnnd I have to work tomorrow.

True, that nice weather we had was killing me.
New left, right, and center tie rods, sway bar bushings, trans and motor mounts, shifter bushing, and z3 short shifter are all installed. Sub frame is back up, pretty much just have to put the fan/belts and the radiator back in. :DD

Forgot to message you. We'll see, I want to make sure engine doesn't explode before I say I'll work on someone else's lol. I like to think I know what I'm doing, there are a bunch of nuclear and fossil power plants running at 100% because of my wrenching/engineering, but this is my first time dealing with anything with more than 1 cam haha.
-
Anyone have the socket "key" for this stupid thing? I want to take my wheels off
-
T-minus 20hrs until I come home from work to $84 in oil on my garage floor lol. Hood is officially down! Just need to do stupid coolant things.
