    Oilpan Dilemna

    So I stripped out my m20 oil pan drain plug a month ago, so I decided it was time.
    I present my newest project, due to be running tonight. A non-vanos 2.5 m50 with some goodies.

      Our Ronals look the same. Dirty. :)
      The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

        "Sorry i stripped a bolt in your oilpan, so I put a m50 in your car instead" sounds like a good thing to hear :)

            WoW. That is one expensive job to remove one bolt and all you needed was a dremel. :)

              LOL
              Eventually, all oil pan drain bolts will break/strip. I just decided to push the m50 swap up when it happened.

                          Congrats on the swap. I want more power. :(

                              Right? You just needed an excuse to swap. I'll bet you stripped your plug on purpose - and if so...good for you ;) At least then you can vaguely rationalize the swap...

                              Any luck finishing on the 31st?
