My euro 320i/B6 3.5 Alpina Tribute ( Now with turbo power)

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Went out to car and put the brake booster back in and bled the brakes. Also painted my intake and throttle body.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Intake manifold is back together just need to press injectors back on to fuel rail. My head is in Chicago I'm hoping tomorrow it ends up in omaha so i can just go to the main hub here and pick it up and get going on that.

More stuff done.

Head arrived





Cam installed



Rockers, shafts, hardware etc installed.





Some of you may notice. Im missing a rocker lock. This is because for some reason it interferes with the casting of the head. It needs the corner of it shaved flat so it slide into place. Tomorrow i will ireland and see whats up and them go from there if it can be shaved and not affect it. Thats what i'll do.

Burn out vid will have to wait until shes broke in but yes.

Didn't get a chance to do a whole lot today. Put in new crank seal on lower timing cover and then buttoned up head so its all ready to go.

Got the back seat of my f150 all packed up and ready to go for tomorrow.

Got some stuff done today.









Just gotta tension timing chain and adjust valves then I can finish dressing it and get it mated to tranny and dropped in.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Motor is pretty much ready to be mated to the tranny. Just need to set the valves and pull the pilot bearing and mount the clutch etc everything else is done. (yes i know water pump pulley isnt right i just slapped it on for pic haha will change it around and tighten it down tomorrow.)

Going to paint that starter? :p

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Going to paint that starter? :p

Most likely hit it with a coat or two yea. I thought that the second I mounted it too haha.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Motor is ready to mate to tranny just need to find a puller for the pilot bearing. Got the valves set. I mounted the intake up just for the sake of getting it out of the way I'm gonna pull it when i drop motor in just to make it easier.

No need for a tool to remove a pilot bearing.
