Kingston,
Just so you know, I bought a lachssilber 89' and 97' S52 for my project when I return from Afghanistan...

How is your Spec E30 build going?

I have the same issue with head gasket on my m20 and not decking/resurfacing the head. Im ordered headstuds to see if I could fix it that way if not oh well that much closer to boost.

Good luck!

Well, my problem is that I DID have it decked. I'm wondering if he just did a shitty job.

Good luck with your build, man.

i see potential.

i see potential.

Thank you. I've been working pretty hard on getting this thing on the road and it seems like I'm taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back sometimes.

Around the beginning of February, I should be getting my year-end bonus so I should be making some real progress then.

I know the feeling, how is yours overheating?

Mine never overheated...

I guess the M52 swap is official. Finally located a motor and this weekend I hit the yards.

I picked up the following:

-E34 oil pan
-E34 pickup tube
-E34 Dipstick & Tube
-M50 harness
-OBD1 Coil packs (all 6)
-OBD1 Crank Position Sensor
-OBD1 Knock Sensors

All in addition to some random other little pieces I'm spacing on right now. Oh, I only spent $59.

If anyone has a 24v swap G260 trans brace, let me know. Going to place an order for the spider hose, thermostat housing, E28 motor mounts and whatever other random stuff I need in the next couple days. Hopefully I can pull the motor out of the donor car next weekend.

M52 deal ended up falling through BUT I have found a killer deal on an S52.

Can't complain. :D

[JCarp90]

If anybody wants an M20 :)

Part it out, I ended up doing that with mine and got $500 out of of the motor components.

I've actually had quite a bit of interest at my asking price, actually.

I must have missed your sale thread, my bad. I didnt have much luck since anyone around here that actually has an E30 is either swapped or has no money haha.
