coolant tube that goes to the back of the head is disconnected, not sure if i can connect it with the intake manifold in the way.

I've done it just fine with everything on. Be creative

Hey Eric.. School me on engine sounds..

How exactly can you tell a car is "running rough"? I believe the IS might be in that category; everyone that's been in it says it's got a massive valve tick and an exhaust leak in 3 different places, all of which have been said to me within 15 seconds of them seeing the bay and I'm just left standing there asking "what?" without decent explanation. I know what the valve tick is, but when it comes to exhaust leaks and "rough idle" stuff, I'm deaf ears. Interior always smells like gas and the exhaust sounds like a diesel

I've been working hard everyday so I'm sorry this reply is late.
When my M20 has low compression in any cylinder w/ my stromung sounds just like a WRX boxster engine. A good running M20 is smooth, does not rock at idle and has great low end torque. the valves and injectors will tick, not very loud but it will tick lightly.

if the interior smells like gas you have a leaky fuel hose. either at the fuel tank or more likely at the fuel rail.

dang eric :/ rough life.

[blazinxpk]

do all e30s have the same heater valve? mine is busted and it gets too cold in the car to be driving around.

and if they are all the same, how much should i expect to pay for a used one in working condition? if bought new they are $160+.

check with bernz, you might be in luck!
