Doin it again

[Mr.SWISS]

Here's the patient: 1989 325is zinna/grey
As it was the day I got it.





Pulled M20 yesterday, will start breaking down S52 this afternoon for the head gasket kit.

[Mr.SWISS]

Started breaking down the S52 this mornin for re seal before install. Taking pan and assorted bits to machine shop for spec and clean. Packing up DME MAtt you will have mail in a few!

[Mr.SWISS]

wheres the crank bolt?

Told it to GTFO, took about 45 secs to vacate the motor.

[Mr.SWISS]

Been a minute thought I could do a little update....


Peurty clean inside!


Easy way to drop $500!

[Mr.SWISS]

Today I installed the zf shift carrier,d shaft, sorted out the intake boot, installed Turned shifter and DSSR and heat shield, Put PS pump and res on and rad installed, upper hose and sorting out the PS is all I lack to get it on the road!

Check out that massive clearance on the rad shroud!

[Sagaris]

lolz I had 100% confidence I was going to find a dead hooked in the trunk when I got it no keys had to take GB lock to the smithy and get one cut.

Opened trunk and OMGWTF..... peeps had priorities all jacked, trunk was spotless aside from a used waterpump and belts all in new packages......

Got home with my PS lines last night about 5 and the kid at the hose shop omitted my regulator from my pressure line....

I looked at his ass with the ice cube crooked ey half open mouth WTF yo say nuuigga!! face, and he professes Oh no it will be fine.


BULLL SHIT

Started car and soon as I touched the wheel it became possesed by the S52 and started spinning wildly like a helm of a pirate ship in a whirlpool. Scared shittless I tried to wrap it up and restrain it but that damn S52 is a beast, it indian burned my forearm pretty good before I shut her off.

fuckin good times man. Now I can't sleep cuz this irradiating burn under my forearm not deep enough to bleed and heal over but deep enough to bug the ever loving shit out of you. Maybe I should pour some bleach on it.

And how long was the entire process ? Also what are you doing about the fan ? I noticed after I did my swap that a fan shroud and a fan don't go together so I had to toss the shroud away !

And great work :up:

[Mr.SWISS]

It's a good idea to have it in. It just bolts up in the original locations, I am going to get it up in the air later this week and I'll take a pic.




So I got a few bugs..... started progressively losing power in the upper range over 4K it just feels like the fuel is getting cut.
codes:
3d After cat O2 4-6 (not installed)
4f After cat O2 1-3 (not installed)
44 EVAP purge control valve circuit (not installed)
37 pre cat 4-6 O2
32 EVAP running losses valve (not installed)
3E secondary air system switching valve (not installed)
23 secondary air system relay/pump
d4 VANOS mechanically stuck ( little baffled on this one measured play tested actuator gonna have one rebuilt by Dr.V and install and see if cures)
F2 misfire cylinder #5
F3 misfire cylinder #6
thinking this is a lack of fuel in the rail leaning out in upper RPM's gonna test the FP running in a bit.

Swap your 1-3 and 4-6 o2 sensor. See if the misfires/codes follow
