I can't take credit for any of these links or pdf's. Credit should go to "AttackEagle" and "slocar". It's just stuff I've found along the way that I though should be stuck together here. Will edit if I find/am sent new links.

Good stuff here.

Anything on troubleshooting an M60B40 misfire?

[Dj Buttchug]

gold! nice post

[hcash]

Nothing specific to the b40. I'd say just browse through the Bentley and find the engine troubleshooting section for the b40.

Found these:

M30 Cam Differneces:


Dino of b40 intake and throttle on a b30:

Interesting dyno chart, but I would be more (personally) interested in what a chip does in a B40, and other bolt-on upgrades. (B44 crank? Pistons? ok... not really bolt-on...)

[hcash]

That's getting into stuff I don't really look into. I'm an M30 guy...

Here's a pic of M30 OEM Flywheel Options(Credit to "zubbie"):


Lightweight M30 aftermarket:

JB racing stocks 2 flywheels:
520-170-240 - 240 mm 11 lbs aluminum - uses stock clutch kit from E34 twin mass M30
520-080-240 - 240 mm 8.5 lbs aluminum - uses stock clutch kit from single mass M30 engines

Excellent post, especially the touring headliner one. Exactly what I was looking for when I decide to replace my headliner.

Change your spark plugs and your inner valve cover gaskets....every year.

[iamsam]

Change your spark plugs and your inner valve cover gaskets....every year.

Inner valve cover gaskets? How does that cause a misfire?

[Hey_You]

Change your spark plugs and your inner valve cover gaskets....every year.

Spark plug tube seals?

[Jean]

Inner valve cover gaskets? How does that cause a misfire?

OIL drips down to where the spark plugs are....fills them up with oil...miss fire.

Ah! Now there was oil in the spark plug holes, but not THAT much, and after I replaced the spark plugs and used dielectric grease, no change, so it's not that.
