Busted my oil pan 2 days ago driving down one of Houston’s abusive roads. Was only going 20mph and my air ride was at normal ride height (50psi). The dip was so bad it compromised my skid plate and cracked the oil pan. The e34 oil pan sits extremely low on the s50 even with the subframe spacers. Luckily I was otw to my homie’s junkyard and was close enough to make it before running too low on oil. Long story short we threw it on a lift, removed the pan, took it to get the crack welded up, and had it back running 6hrs later. Had a nice drive back home until it started smoking like crazy. Pulled over and realized we didn’t tighten the d—- drain plug. Ended up towing it home with AAA. Copped a new plug from Momentum the next morning and now she’s good to go.

I have been having a clunk in the rear of my car on both sides. I replaced the shock mounts ~1 year ago and installed reinforcement plates at the same time. I have checked that the nuts were tight a few times.
Well I had the rear end up in the air and noticed a gap from the shock mount to the body and I could wiggle the shock. So I dropped the car back down and tore the trunk apart. When I installed the reinforcement plates, they had almost no wiggle room between the bolt holes. So when I tightened the nuts a year ago, it jammed the reinforcement plate sideways making it seem like the nuts were fully tight. Fixed it by tightening the nuts a little at a time going back and forth and no more clunking!!! Finally silence after a year, and yes I was trying to find the source during that year, very little driving the car.

Head went back on for a second time. I had to replace all of my intake valves. I went ahead and replaced the cam gear also and threw on the ITG filters to check fitment. I also did a fillet seal along each intake manifold to ensure 0 leaks with aircraft sealant. Reinstalled the Nuke fuel rail and checked timing.

The tax was just so much less than the $10 to ship a 2 ounce package from the other sources.
