I have some genuine BMW frames if you want a set! I agree these cars look wrong without plate frames. Otherwise this looks fantastic

It is an m42. 

Is it timing related again?

betcha timing chain guides of some sorts.

[Earl]

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.

[Derflaminflitzer]

I bet its the same thing again earl

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.

this actually happen?

[Derflaminflitzer]

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

[Derflaminflitzer]

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

[Rowleym]

I'll get that shit sold on the black market

[Derflaminflitzer]

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

[Earl]

Glad the knock is gone but I dont know how the chain would have stretched

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

This doesn't seem normal mr Menard I think it's time for u to order a vanos rebuild kit and I'm thinking about doing mine when I service my cooling system on the e46.
