Massive lifter tick?

I thought you were supposed to remove this baffle when installing the e34 m50 oil pan? Thank god it wasn't a rod bearing!

well i dont see why it wouldn't work either way...i mean it was still meant for this motor.

however, i think i may have just installed it in the wrong direction.

i realized exactly why this is happening...

M52 Crank...longer stroke! The rods are just simply going lower and whacking the pan!

most ppl take out the e36 windage tray and just run the one that is built into the e34 pan...

WOW dude thats a bad ass find. Good to hear it isnt anything too major. Even though pulling the pan in a m50 e30 is not an easy task.

Time for smokey-b vids!!!!!!

dude tell me about it...what a bitch to remove. i think with the E34 oil pan baffle it will make it a bit easier to get it in there.

no smokey burnouts until its fully broken in!

:)

i promise to get some vid's up of it driving though.
