type your question in google and pelican parts always have a simple step by step process of how to do everything like this.

iv never heard about it. and you shouldn't have oil running in the intake manifold (at least i wouldn't think so). i have put a m20 back together roughly and didn't notice any "pin" of the sort-FREEDOM- is cruisin at 80, windows down and listening to the perfect song-thinking "this is it"

pin? nah.
But there is a big tube that runs from crank case to intake.
Replace the o-rings on either end of this tube to prevent leaks.
Zip-tie the spring at the bottom of the tube to remove and replace; makes life easier.
This is all assuming you are talking about the M20...Ben

Yeah...hes talking about the bitch tube. Not a pin, a tube from IM to the bottom of the crankcase. Not a biggie. Follow the directions above, Zip-tie.sigpic 1987 325isComment

Actually if you twist the tube while depressing it, it will "lock" itself down for a bit. Make sure your torque specs are correct, these tend to leak if not re-installed properly.Yours truly,

Ah yes, the spring-loaded-tube-of-death. Definitely use zipties to compress and hold the spring. Makes life much easier.Comment

Also, make sure to have the washer inbetween the spring and lower o-ring.
Also, the t-stat housing being loosened will make it easier to get off and on.sigpic

So I still didn't do this. Call me the world's biggest procrastinator. But in preparation I bought that vent pipe and a new o ring from the dealer. The vent pipe is metal. Wasn't it plastic??Comment
