Lol wut!?!?!?

Hey guys!

Pulled the engine from the RR and sold it to someone to install in another RRC. YAY.

So eyeballing the quickest way to get this together. Trans acquisition is quickly approaching.

Thinking about going wit MS2 3.0 just for fuel control, and run the spark with the distributors for now. Get familiar, then upgrade later on. I don't wanna drop in over my head right away.

Holy shit. No wonder no one swaps in these motors the parts of made of gold!

[slammin.e28]

More wrenchy done:

First, the rust from the small coolant tube in the valley. I'll be ordering a new one.



Secondly, this is the water pump:



I'll be ordering a new one.

Third, I broke the fucking valley cover, so I'll be ordering a new one.

There was so much shit I couldn't see the valley cover. Had to get in there with brake cleaner to see the bolts. Then it was so stuck I had to remove the rear cover and get at it underneath with a screwdriver and mallet. Finally came loose, then got close to the front and SNAP. Fucker broke in half 2/3 down. No I didn't miss a bolt. It was that fucking stuck.

View once removed. Don't mind the broken off bolt. This is becoming a regular thing.




Anywho, I guess my list of things to get has gone up.

Edit: the cover I broke is part # 11 14 1 715 642. It lists for $552.74 on getBMWparts.com.

FUCK

I hear ya. I just want to get my euro spec done so I can relax, enjoy the car and recoupe money haha

[slammin.e28]

Lawl, yeah. I'm tired of having all this shit hanging over my head.

Be nice if all my "projects" could go as quickly as the E34T swap.

looks like someone better help you with that m70 rover so you can get on that m30 e30

[slammin.e28]

Glad to see your coming to your senses. No one needs a v8 e30 when you can have a m30 in it... especially m30 turbo.. What if you Bought another rover and made it a m60 6 speed rover lol

I'm getting to the point where I just want a stock Rover.

Sure, the Classic is nice and will be cool and all, but it's going to need a resto sometime (found more rust).....and it's so terrible to drive, lol.

Wanna stick with the e30 'vert. It'll need a power plant. M30 is easy. M30 has been my forte anyways.

Selling M60 stuff will finance the M70 stuff as well.

I'm getting old, and tired.

So, I have had much logic imparted on me.

Going to ditch the V8 shenanigans.

Buy Discovery 2

Get back to my roots with M30 (FI) shenanigans in the e30

Get parts for V12 Rover because it'll be more fun.

I have way too much going on.
