What car did the engine come out of? I remember some of the seven series cars had water cooled alternators.
If you don't have access to cheap (or yourself) aluminum welding you can always pick up some bypass caps. Most parts stores can get you an assorted box for under $10. Dorman makes the kind I used on my car. Big ones are 3/4", next size down is 5/8.

Engine came from a 740 '94. Those caps look like a good solution. I know one of those ports is for cooling that autobox and I'm assuming some go to heater core.
Got the flywheel mounted and cleaned up/painted the timing covers.
Ran into to a small hiccup when I was about to mount the clutch and PP
The pilot bearing is way to small for the trans input shaft..I guess I should order one for an e34 530i ?

Thanks! Yea it might be a little too much red in the bay..I guess I'll find out.
Irrelevante30, the bolts were M10X1.5X 50mm. But the two on the top are different, smaller. I had these bolts laying around from my m20 trans I think

So I guess the guys at the salvage yard did a compression test on the engine before they sold it because the plugs for cylinders 1 and 5 were missing. I guess they thought it was ok to pull the plugs out even though the wells around them were filled with water too..jackasses. I had to get a big syringe and some vinyl hose and suck it all out. On the bright side, the rings didn't let any by..

Cool thanks for the tip. I guess it will just come out of the exhaust ports?
