I know where a 5spd 535i is and I'm thinking of getting it because I want the LSD. I know it's hard to find the manuals which is why I was going to get it. I know Donnie and Kevin (my brother) and I worked at the shop for a bit too. If you are interested, we might be able to work something out.

Yeah, you got a good brother. He's a damn good dude. And I right like Donnie as well.Originally posted by Andy.BWhenever I am about to make a particularly questionable decision regarding a worryingly cheap diy solution, I just ask myself, "What would Ether-D do?"

On that note, I can also get some ellipsoids (not perfect), black leather e36 seats already mounted in the e30. Houndstooth coupe door cars and the rear houndstooth seat. Eibach springs but those may hard to remove.

Ok, so, I took out the timing chain tensioner and the grinding noise stopped. Now it turns over all smooth and silky like. So I reckon that means I need some new timing guides. No big whoop.Originally posted by Andy.BWhenever I am about to make a particularly questionable decision regarding a worryingly cheap diy solution, I just ask myself, "What would Ether-D do?"

Removed the timing cover(s) and looked inside to see that it has a new timing guide on the tension side and what looks to be old on the slack/spring side. I managed to mangle the head gasket where it continues on to in-between the two timing covers so I'm gonna get one and just replace it while it's easy. Hell, I might just do all the gaskets and shit while it's on the stand.
Btdubz, does anybody know how similar the m10 and m30 are? M10 just looks like a m30 minus 2 cylinders. The oil pump chain is a bit smaller on the m10, but a lot of stuff may cross over. I think I've read that the rod and main bearings are the same and rods and such.
Got my steel for the mounts in the mail, and ordered an oil pan and pickup from a e34 from Red88 here on r3v.

This m10 clutch can handle 283 hp and 291ft/lbs and is $146? Does that sound right? Seems cheap to me.Originally posted by Andy.BWhenever I am about to make a particularly questionable decision regarding a worryingly cheap diy solution, I just ask myself, "What would Ether-D do?"

Alright I pulled the head off of the b34 cause I just had to know what it looked like in there. And I found something I'm not too keen on. One of the pistons had a pretty good sized gouge in the outside edge. I can only guess something crazy happened and a valve hit a piston (or two, see pics). Maybe a valve broke off or the motor ate some gravel or something. There is a bit of a chafe on the cylinder wall corresponding with where the piston deformed when the gravel, valve, denture partial was consumed. The exhaust valve on that cylinder was also the only oily-ish one in the lot, so I reckon there's a bit of blow-by in that cyl. I think that I'm gonna be ok with it all though. What's a little blow-by in the grand scheme?
Also, logistically, this motor is gonna be heaps harder to supercharge. That damn water pump is slap in the way. Can one use an electric water pump? I kinda wanna cut this one off to make my fabrication a bit easier…Originally posted by Andy.BWhenever I am about to make a particularly questionable decision regarding a worryingly cheap diy solution, I just ask myself, "What would Ether-D do?"

Shouldn't have to do anything to the WP on an M30 to slap an Eaton on.

I ain't gonna do one of those remote supercharger mount jobs. I really like the manifold-mount variant, and the water pump is right where the snout wants to be. There's also coolant hose(s) near there in the way.
Anybody (slammin) know if I should hone the cylinders and re-ring it, will it be worth it? Or get the Maxsil pistons and get it bored at the mech shop. Or just hope for the best the way it is and fuck with the whole rebuild later (or not at all).Originally posted by Andy.BWhenever I am about to make a particularly questionable decision regarding a worryingly cheap diy solution, I just ask myself, "What would Ether-D do?"

Got my oil pan and pump from the e34. Thank you Red88! It's nice and clean, and was well packed and shipped quick.
Got the comfy polly motor and transmission mounts ordered and on the way from G-man the visionary. Thank you too sir! What a wonderful communicator! I've heard he smells of fresh baked bread. I cannot confirm this.Originally posted by Andy.BWhenever I am about to make a particularly questionable decision regarding a worryingly cheap diy solution, I just ask myself, "What would Ether-D do?"
