Sorry to hear the bad new's man, but on the up side of things at least when all this is done you've basically touched and repaired everything on the car so it should be a reliable car for many more years to come.

How did those bearings look??

Forgot to take pic of rod bearings but you can still see the mains in the block.

Finished up on the motor. Gonna take it to machine shop tomorrow or Thursday.

Motor is stripped of its acc and on a stand. I was gonna disassemble bottom end but ran into a couple issues. First i left my stamps at the house to mark the mains etc. Then the jesus nut(crank nut) decided it wasn't going anywhere. So i went home and regrouping for the next assault on the crank lmao.

Buddy stopped at shop today to drop off an 95 m3 rack for me to put in since motor has to be pulled. Then we proceeded to fuck with things and were left with this.

Is a VR gasket set good practice on these motors?

As far as the non precision gaskets. There isnt a problem. Its the head gaskets that you gotta stay away from. Thats why i got the full VR kit and the erling HG

Got bored. So now the head is stripped and sitting in a box waiting to be taken to post office in morning and off to the guys at VAC.

Did you make it yourself or buy it?? I have a feeling I'm going to be in the m30 business for a long time. I'm in love with mine<3<3. I think you will be too when you finish it.
