you should have shaved it for later

Lmao I was literally coming back to edit "I should have just shaved it for later" into my post.  Well played.

I won't be in Milwaukee until later tonight or else I would. Kaiser Rolls lives right in Milwaukee though! Get him off forza for a bit hahaha.

you could always just have someone call in a bomb threat

I'll call it in.  Anything to have patsbimmer1 show up.

So for those who aren't friends with me on Facebook, which I guess is most of you, for the first time in 4 months my e30 moved on her own power. TJ stopped by and gave me a hand wrapping up the last couple of things. There's still some work to do. The head is still leaking but it doesn't seem as bad, which is my main concern. But it runs, drives, and still breaks loose no problem

ive seen that guy around before. i think the car had texas plates….

Help me find him Andy. It reminded me so much of my last e30, it must do burnouts.

Kaiser...  your sig...   is a level of win I have not seen before.

Edit: Page 17 has a step by step removable core support project guide with lots of pictures. I figured this is good info for anyone wanting to try it

Over the years I've worked on a lot of different cars, done a bunch of different swaps, ect. But never a complete tear down of a motor to freshen things up. I figured my pride and joy, beat to shit e30 drift car would be a good place to start. Also seeing it here is a good way to keep me motivated to finish it. So lets get into it!

Skipped pics for the first couple of steps taking off the fenders/bumper/valence.

On the lift, ready for operation.

Without breaking a sweat, the m50 is out!

As some of you may notice, my front core support is cut out here. I will be drilling out the remaining factory tach welds, buying a new radiator core support, and making it fully detachable. Because Im sure this wont be the last time this motor comes out lol.

The clutch seems to be in okay shape still. Nothing out of the ordinary.

A couple small hot spots on the flywheel, but still, nothing too crazy. Theres also no cracks in the pressure plate "fingers" so thats good.

Im not sure how a throwout bearing should look when coming out, so I dont know about this. Still spins very very well?

Back to the motor! Valve cover off.

Some gross shit in one of the spark plug tubes.

Fuel rail, injectors, and harness removed.

Intake manifold off, along with the rest of the engine harness/plugged in stuff.

Vanos removed.

Le sprockets.

Kind of off topic, but this has been by far the best investment I've made so far lol.

Anyway! The head is off.

The goods!

Gotta keep yo shit organized! Every single bolt that has come off of the car, from the fenders, to the throttle body, to vanos, has been bagged and labeled.

Thats a far as I am right now. I guess now would be a good time to say I have no idea what Im doing when it comes to timing related stuff, so thats my main concern about getting it all back together. But yeah, hopefully I will be updating this pretty frequently as this project goes on! All comments are welcome. Especially any input about m50 timing

Oh I miss gettin slideways in my s13. I've heard this car is pretty wicked from some mutual friends! Looks good man!

I take it you heard that from Justin? I've given a coupe of people rides just at my shop. Hahah I just got home from the LSHQ just now actually. You were the one who did my ball joints right? I thought Justin said that but I can't remember hahah. If so, thank you!

Hi Chris! Clicking new content and seeing "CYoung" commented on like 8 threads was a pleasant surprise! Also, still in for a giant "wibimmers" decal for my quarter panel

Jed at Hytec does amazing work. He's right in Waukesha off 164. Send me a pm if you'd like his number!

napa's love the people that come back for little things like this.

Especially when I have a business account there and get sick discounts, hollaaa \m/   Tomorrow should be another productive day for the m50 though.

You make it sound like I actually like heated leather and nice speakers.....

Besides, no car can climb snowbanks like the mk3.  And I mean...  NO car.
