Well that would explain it...

I have to agree that the engine had to sound pretty bad in that condition.

[quikveedb2]

Bought an e30 and it did not run so well, sounded real unhealthy.

Understatement of the year? I hear & feel every clunk, clatter, or vibration my car makes, that must have sounded like the apocalypse.

Only time it ran, bought it knowing it would probably need a new engine but did not think the inside would be that bad lol. Door dinger was kind of loud sorry, it ran like shit, spat oil everywhere and in the video I was struggling to keep it alive.

Oh my good god. I love my m20 much more now

[Hick]

did the PO use it to fog for mosquitoes?

that had to smoke really bad

[GunMetalGrey]

Did not smoke at all actually, it was really weird that it didn't. Yeah, shit was fucked up.

good thing M20s don't pull a premium this close to racewars...

[Vtec?lol]

I want the steering wheel.

[GunMetalGrey]

Remove the other valve and the piston and rod. Bolt everything up, now you have a gas saving volvo engine!
