Which cylinder did the rocker break, and do you have a/c? Only thing is that i dont think AAA will tow to a residence.

what if you wanted it towed home? if they wont tow it from a residence to a residence, push it out onto the side of the road a little down the street and call their ass up. Ask them to tow it to your mechanic (to the meet). there, done.

well i think your right, its some other company that wont, cause now that im thinking about it, AAA came to a friends house to pull a dude out of s drainage ditch.

The rocker closest to the firewall. But, AAA will tow to a residence, and I get three tows a year.

things going downhill doesn't sound too good.. jk

Should I get my bucket towed up there then? I'd love to have that thing back up and running again so that I can start a turbo build on my main squeeze. :D

Jeff, would it be too much trouble to leave my sedan up there for a day or two (so that i can make arrangements to come pick it up later)? I'll leave ya the keys if it gets in the way, or if you just want to drive a stock E30 around for some time... haha... lemme know!

Yeah, get it towed here, I don't mind. I suppose I have current say in what goes on here, as my parents won't be back til tomorrow evening/night, so I say it's cool.

I actually have done this job on a guy's car out in sterling. About a 7hr job 2 yrs ago, but I've pulled rocker shafts a few times since then, so it shouldn't be too bad. I'd say we should be able to get it done tomorrow no problem. Make sure you have a timing belt kit too, as that has to be pulled too.

As long as I havent gone diving through that parts box for pieces for my other e30, I should have t-belt, t-stat, waterpump, rocker, eccentric, gaskets and other tidbits. hopefully everything required for the job!

so, things didn't go completely as planned, but still had fun and accomplished some stuff.
