Starting info: I have an m52 swapped e30, with what were supposed to be s50 cams, trays, and lifters (I bought and installed them myself off of bimmer forums a few months back)
Gents, I've been ramming my head into a brick wall trying to figure THIS shit out. I recently purchased new lifters to replace the noisy supposed s50 lifters. However, the new lifters (confirmed to be correct by Blunt himself) are about 1/16th of an inch smaller in diameter than the old lifters (and also the bore in the trays, just an fyi) and also about 1/16th of an inch shorter. But the cams fit in both the old m52 tray and the new "s50" tray with no issues. And the car runs fine with the new cams, trays, and lifters.... what fucking trays do I have that would have lifters of that size in them? I've been hunting online, and Blunt sent me the link to realoem showing that the s50/m50/s52/m52 all use the same lifter part number...... Thanks ahead.
