George, come on really?

An automagic e30, with a blown motor, and on jack stands....yea. That's about right. :up: (sorry - that was rude of me....but still kinda funny)

[5Toes]

Motor isn't blown

[Keith M]

Doesn't it have rod knock? That's almost blown.

[5Toes]

Im not sure if it is a rod or a oil pump or something. Havn't started the car in over a month

[Keith M]

It didn't sound good in that video you posted. Keep up on the suspension and worry about the motor later.

Blunt quoted me ~270 for a new front valance.

I was just going to suggest getting a price from Blunt

Doesn't it have rod knock? That's almost blown.

5cellz strickes again with his intellagence

In the video I posted that was before the mysterious 2000rpm noise

That I think was the torque converter, because I was on the brakes and the car was idling at 2000rpm, stressing the torque converter

One thing I do know is that when my motor does take a shit, I want to build a stroker with around 10:1 compression

Hey Lucky,
I was wondering if you had a straight and clean Alpinweiss 2 DS fender. I had bought one from you before winter but it has been repainted at some point and doesn't really match. And if you do would you be willing to trade for the clean one I bought + cash? If not that's totally fine. I was thinking I'd see if I could find one with OEM paint before having someone paint it to match.

[5Toes]

On the note of a stroker.

My understanding is that the eta has short rods and a "long piston"

While the m20b25 has long rods and a shorter piston

However, the piston CH information for the b27 and b25 on this page conflicts that - http://www.e30tech.com/forum/archive...hp/t-1694.html
