Just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Patrick. I am a new member, as well as a new E30 owner. The car is an 89 325i. I bought it with a compression issue as I wanted a fixer to save some money. Turned out to be a broken intake rocker.
Since taking the top end apart and reassembling it, I had an idle issue that seemed to be fixed when I went back and reset the valve clearance. I'm not getting any reading on my temp gauge so I still have that to figure out. I also have my oil pressure light coming on (and yes, I have changed the switch), so now I get to take the oil pan off and cross my fingers hoping it's just a clogged pickup, but I am prepering for worse news. Oh and my thermostat housing is rigged to hopefully last another 20 miles.
Anyways, just saying hi and I hope I learn a lot while I'm here. Also, I will be at Petit Le Mans this year. Anyone else still reading this headed that way in October?
