Tearing down the m60.. not too many surprises, which is good..

- Intake manifold complete gunked up, so will have to clean that all up
- One of the cam chain tensions has failed, causing slack and noise when running
- removed the lower oil pan and no bolts in there, good so far! but when i removed the oil pump chain cover a bolt fell out of there that was all chewed up. Appears to be rubbing against the chain, but the chain was ok, just loose. The bolt that wiggled itself loose was the one that locked in the tensioner.


- I will be replacing all the gaskets, seals, and timing chain tensioner.




6-SPEED in the house!


and IF ANYONE has a trick to get this jesus bolt off while on the engine stand, that'd be great... other wise i gotta do it by the book and wait until i have it mounted in the car.... which i would rather not do..

Dude i had remove that jesus bolt it took two people 5 feet of leverage and a hefty pair of channel locks

Finally an Update

FINALLY



Picked up some Corbeau Forza seats off another local E30 guy


Got my Wilwood Pedal Box Assembled


Also my buddy made this custom expansion tank for me

[ncrmtrsprtsE30]

sorry everyone, UUC is laggggggggging on my flywheel, its been over a month and I have still not received it from them.....its putting a huge halt to my swap..

I did receive my Wilwood Pedal box and masters for the brakes system, and having Chase Bays making me some custom brake lines as a prototype kit for their wilwood pedal box kit.

Other parts I recently received, UUC performance clutch, Sikky steering column, mishimoto radiator, custom aluminum expansion tank, fuel lines, and a buncha other little things.

I will have a lot of updates as soon I get my flywheel from UUC, that they said they were shipping out last week after I called them a month after I ordered it, then I called again this week and they said it was shipping out the next day.. well its been almost another week and I guess we will see if i get it this week.

[ncrmtrsprtsE30]

Sounds good, Ill look into that!

Sorry for no updates! been working like crazy making that dough so I can buy more parts!!! but soon enough its going to come all together pretty quick!

I put in a z3 rack but my old linkage was shot. Followed the link above and made one from two e46 linkages. However, I didn't weld mine. IIRC, the total cost was less than $50 (parts purchased off ebay).

Don't waste your money on those expensive steering shafts just make one out of 2 e46 steering shafts
