Welcome! I'm down in the Vacaville area. Valve ticking might just be the m20 purring. ;) Gear replacement is an easy fix, but I'm pretty sure it won't effect your speedometer. (It's been a couple years since I last did it) You could also test another speedometer in it.

It's been spray'd black at some point. its suppose to be dolphin grey. and the paint is a little faded on the roof and the spoiler is peeling. but nothing a good day of buffing it out shouldn't fix. The plan right now is to figure out the valve ticking noise, replace the blown out suspension with a aftermarket lowering set-up. and i noticed coming home from where i bought it that the temperature gauge read at the the 1/4 line and before i pulled in the drive it read half but as i hit bumps in the road it'd wave at me between zero and 1/4. is this normal? and from the quick searches i have done the odometer gear fix is to pull that gauge cluster and replace the whole unit or replace the gear? would this also effect my speedometer since that isn't working either.

Im the FNG for today. picked up my first E30 today. its a 1986 325 coupe with a 5 speed. odometer broke at 130k and the interior is clean enough to make it appear that wasn't to long ago. attached is the pic i took tonight in the driveway, i'll post more tomorrow.
