Yeah, thats what happened :( The Timing case cover got scraped up quite a bit along with the front crank seal. I'm afraid it will leak now
Thats odd maybe mine aren't the stock bolts? Regardless, it happened and now I need to fix it ahhYour signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Big update!
Doing the oil pan swap
Taking off the old one
Windage tray off
Bye
Cut bracket for s52 oil pickup tube. I cleaned it up further after this with a file
Safety wired and red loctited the oil pump nut. The sucker was still on there pretty tight when i took it off. Wasn't going anywhere
m50 pickup tube with new gasket
Pickup tube and oil pump nut looking tidy
Oil pan on with new gasket
In the process of cleaning up the ZF
New friction plate and e34 m5 stage 2 clutch kit on
New pilot bearing, also did the rear main seal and rear main seal housing gasket
Bolting up the trans with my dad and friends. New clutch slave and throwout bearing included
All bolted up with redline MT90
Waiting for some help to come by then its going in
Poly and UHMW for days
Help arrives. The mounts were a pain. Had to use the slots on the subframe and the bottom nuts were hard to get to because my reinforcement plates blocked access. should be good though
Condor Speed shop UHMW mounts
UHMW PS delete and mount
Got the AKG quickshifter 2 in. don't mind the hairy persian friend

Been getting what I can done here and there. I finally got my DD 325e running again :) so thats a big relief
Worked on trying to get the harness on the firewall as clean as I can, still not finished yet. Have to do a little more work to get the m42 cover on. I liked how I got the obd2 diag port by the fuse box.
Got the relays on the m42 harness cover, they take up a lot of room in there though
Getting there
All zip tied up
I'll finish that up later
Also got the new e34 m50 throttle cable on, this was tough because of the relocated brake booster. I got it eventually, should have installed before I put the brake booster on. oh well
Also got the serpentine belt on
and rethreaded the e30 brown top coolant sensor to thread into the s52 head
Then I worked on cooling hoses. I was able to use all s52 e36 m3 hoses. I was able to cut up the long s52 e36 m3 hose that comes off the metal pipe and use it to make my heater core hoses and coolant reservoir to metal pipe hose. Top and bottom rad hoses are original s52 hoses, bottom had to be cut
Mishimoto aluminum radiator. All that was needed to make this fit was the drivers side rad mount from a late model 325i
Just have to hose clamp them all up
This one doesn't kink as much as it looks in the picture, might cut it some more
Mounted the Walbro high pressure fuel pump to the 318is frame and got it installed

It wraps around the cable and then bolts on the drive side shock tower. Did you reuse that?Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.
