M30 5spd

[Pinepig]

You can all stop sucking Jeans dick now.

You like how he's done all the research has pretty pictures of all the new parts and generally has his shit together.

NOT

Motor was out of an Auto car, all other parts for the manual tranny were sourced by him, guess what he forgot, the pilot bearing that goes in the end of the crankshaft for the tranny output shaft.

I just came up to siphon some gas out of a car so I can go back down and burn the fucker if he hasn't come up with a local place.


FUCK Niello has one in stock, off to the dealer.

[Jean]

I uploaded some torque specs and other reference stuff here http://www.briangt.com/gallery/album168 that might come in handy.

[Doughnut]

I hoping your pictures of installing the m30 will be as detailed as your pictures of the new nuts and bolts you bought :p

Honestly, I'm loving this fucking thread!

[Good & Tight]

Jean I gotta say you deff are very detailed in rebuilding stuff. Looks great!!!!

[Pinepig]

Nice! Good luck! When is the expected start-up date?

We're starting tomorrow at 9am, it runs and drives off on Sunday afternoon or I'm burning it to the ground. I just picked up a 63 Chevy step side pickup ( 500$ out of Vegas, one day trip ) that will need the space that Jean is taking up in the shop.:D

Final bolts/nuts/hoses I hope I am not missing anything....



ICV hose and fuel evap purge valve to manifold hose




Since my car has a sheet metal console, I also need rear mount for the g260/6 shifter.



don't know if the tranny has this on it, so just in case



the "bitch clip" as some call it



top radiator hose bracket/holder thing



12mm driveshaft bolts



12mm driveshaft nuts



two extras just in case



single mass flywheel bolts and spacer





tps to throttle body bolts



for the intake manifold elbow to vacuum line



engine/tranny mount nuts









fitting for the missing 2nd vacuum line on the intake manifold



pressure plate to flywheel bolts.




I am off to ACE to get some m10x25 bolts for the starter.

Swap is tomorrow :)

[Jean]

Yeah, I was able to find one locally from another m30 car...cost me $1 :)



That cover new is like $30+

I think the spark will want to jump to the head without the plastic
cover.

[Doughnut]

Also, is the plastic cover that I missing here, is it critical at all?

The dust cover that sits behind the rotor is not critically necessary IMO but is recommended to prevent premature front camshaft leaks in the future.

Just order one when you get all your other crap.

[Jean]

Seriously, all these extra things you have to do with the early chassis is just retarded....

I completely forgot about the way the shifter mounts, specifically the REAR mount is different.. so I gotta order this part tomorrow locally so I can get it before the weekend.

old http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...93&hg=25&fg=05 parts 5-7
new http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...27&hg=25&fg=05 part 4

and o2 sensor too argh.

[Jean]

Thanks dude... hopefully it won't burn oil/coolant like my current engine lol

[chadthestampede]

Damn that's clean. It's going to be beautiful when you get it in the car.

[Jean]

The flywheel bolts that I ordered were the wrong ones, too long so I need to re-order them and a couple more things.

Test fitted fuel lines after replacing the old fuel hoses. Manifold is off to drill/tap 2nd small fitting for a vacuum line.



As you can see, there is a blank spot for a fitting. It's missing because this engine came out of a EML equipped car.



Cleaned up and installed power steering pump, still kind of dirty but this will do, it was all black in dirt/oil.



Installed new shifter bushings, need to order mounting hardware for the arm to the tranny, somehow I completely forgot about it.





Also, is the plastic cover that I missing here, is it critical at all?

[Jean]

That is true, not shown in the picture... and the part I got is slightly different.

Check it out, plug in that part number and it shows up / comes up as the one I got :
