Anyone around sometime to help me out with a bigger job?
I replaced my lower oil pan on my E30, but I found out (or caused) the upper oil pan is stripped, causing a vacuum leak. So, obviously it's pretty out of commission due to overheating if driven more than about 30-45 minutes.
Basically, I either need to redrill my upper oil pan as a temporary fix (the gasket is leaking), or replace the pan itself.
All the leaks I have remaining are pretty minor, only my lower oil pan was especially bad.
Since moving into my new apartment, I've been pretty short on money, so I can't quite afford to bring it to a shop right now, but it would be nice to have it drivable around town as my daily, again.
Beer, Pizza, Friendship, all the joy of helping me learn the hard stuff all included! Just moved to Northwest Berkeley.
I'm leaning towards having the pan re-drilled or helicoiled for now, but idk. Any leads on an east bay shop that would do it dirt cheap? I don't care if it's a sloppy job, and it will all be fixed in a few months.1986 325e Maaco Black M62 Project [SOLD]

can you guys confirm e30 alternators from any e30, fit in each car? RealOEM seems to say so. Only difference is the amps but i'm just gonna get a 95a cuz cars only use what it needs and I can put it in my M3. Then throw older one on other car."I wanna see da boat movie"

Why not buy the tool to fix it yourself? (Make sure to get the correct thread pitch)
Helicoil:
kit
single tool
Timesert:
single tool
Here's a thread about other options:
