Started prepping to pull engine. I think I've got most everything on the top side undone except the p.s. lines.
Removed a couple pounds of alarm in the process.
The glovebox was locked with not key. I couldn't get my hand up behind it to release the latch. Ended up destroying it. If anyone has a spare let me know.
Tentative plan.
Engine:
Pull engine/trans. Engine on stand, trans to dump.
Remove all accessories.
Remove head. Check block, assuming no issues head to shop for rebuild.
Clean up, replace gaskets, replace sensors, belts, wear items.
Reassemble.
Trans:
Clean and check.
Replace input and output seals.
New clutch parts.
Refresh shifter, maybe short shift kit.
Replace guibo and CSB.
Car:
Need new exhaust center and rear sections.
Drop subframe, clean and insp.
Replace steering rack - E36/46/Z3 - still researching
New tire rods, ball joints, bushings, etc.
Install used Bilstien/HR set up.
Replace rotors/pads, check calipers, rebuild ebrake drums.
Replace fuel tank and lines.
New tires for the Ronals.
I'm not going to drop the rear subframe at this time.
Any other while I'm in there ideas?
Where things are as of last night.
