Here's some more pics. I just pulled the valve cover off, and was very pleased with what I found inside. I'll let the pics show it.











Clean as can be. No wear on a damn thing. Every cam lobe smooth as silk.

WOW! That looks like it just came off the showroom floor. Are you going to put different cams in it or are you keeping it stock? Chip? How many miles are on it?

Shot these real quick.

Awesome alternative for those who want to keep it.

Thanks for sharing. :D

What's the second chain on the exhaust cam? oil pump drive?

[ShowStopper]

Nice work..Doing the same thing i am doing now. Just clean up some brackets and spray. but i went a little further and got a e36 rack and subframe powder coated. Check out my thread. Looks a little sloppy at first but be worth it in the end.

Timing chain goes from crank to exhaust cam, second chain transfers to intake cam.


Heres more engine bay

[Jand3rson]

Very nice. Went out and got a little more work done, pulled the fuel rail and injector harness, and pulled the intake manifold. The intake ports look good, a little gunky, but nothing too serious.

All the hoses underneath are in great shape, and the manifold itself also looks very good.

Taking the valve cover and oil filter cover down tomorrow to be sandblasted, going to try and clean the manifold inside and out, and clean the injectors.

You've go to realize that as R3V admin, your car is a direct reflection on the site. So you better not fuck up. Just look at how well Crivs car came out.

Hugs and kisses.

I've been impressed with all of your work to this point. I'm sure your engine swap will not disappoint. Good luck!

Thanks, broski.

Someone has to keep these fucking kids in line

[Jand3rson]

No.

There, does your head fit inside your living room again? :p

Shit no. It's a good thing I have vaulted ceilings.
