My daily '84 318i m30 swap

[glnr13]

really, no need at all? hmmm... fan clutch is brand new. as i mentioned above new thermostat, waterpump, coolant temp sensor.

there are no thermoswitches on the recently installed radiator and the aux fan has been rewired to only come on at low speed and only when the a/c is on.

i either need to bleed the system (which this system is supposed to be self bleeding) or maybe my non functioning heater is because of a clogged heater core... fuuu back to the bentley manual

[glnr13]

i replaced the fan clutch just to be sure and still overheating

That thing is pretty. Clogged eater core?

Looks just like mine! Unless I am wrong, I believe your color is actually Basaltblau. Yours is a lot nicer than mine too. Amazing find!

thanks! that's what i'm thinking.

sticker in the engine bay says sapphire blue. repaint but the exterior color matches the engine bay and other non painted areas very well. after reading your thread and your description of your car's color i don't think they are the same. this looks like a silver baby blue.

bought a hayden electric fan, removed the fan clutch and auxiliary fan. super cool now.

Just makes me want to get mine back together faster... good to see some more M10 power.

[MadSci]

i like the simplicity of this engine.
valve adjustment done today! 4 and 2 exhaust were way out of tolerance. feels much smoother and quieter now. not so angry sounding sewing machine :P

Looks great! If you don't mind, would you be able to snap a picture of one of your wheels in this perspective?



I'm trying to figure out if these wheels would look odd with studs.

Thanks!
