PDX tech meet: Round III

[ejnight]

Keith
The clutch seems fine, but the car ran like shit CE lite was coming on and off all the way home. I will get in to it this afternoon. It will be any easy fix I'm sure. Thanks again and I will see you soon.

Did the new mids actually give him a noticeable gain??

Yes, i want to get a z3 short shifter soon cause i love the way it felt in the black car(sorry i forgot some names). You guys could help put it in because i am almost completely incompetent. So you guys are there to help/teach.

Some one told me there is a good source/link for one and it comes with all the new pieces?

BMA sells the kit for like 75 or just the stick and washers from dealer is like 60 if you bring the car to my place we can put it in (30 min tops). The black one was a super 91' 325i clean as shit. I didnt know if he gained much but it sounds a bit chirppy there was a problem with exhaust clamps

Keith and the rest of the guys that helped me today, I thank you. It was great to have the help and I appreciated it more than i can say. Hope you enjoyed the BBQ and there was still food when you got there.

Im going to try to be there for a few so look for the stock red 318is or a white M3/4. Dont know which one to drive.

Seeing as how this is r3v, and its all about the e30's... nuff said. Also, I'm not impressed as easily with e36's as I am with a clean stock e30 example. :razz:

Kids, don't forget...you can bump the motor over using the diagnostic port, makes it so much easier!

anyone got the spring tool for a valve adjustment? anyone got the patience to help an semi inept mechanic? any of you fools even have m20's anymore! haha

Kyle

Kyle - I have everything you need to do a valve adjustment. Get here early to let your motor cool as much as possible. I'll show you how it's done.
PM'ing directions.

I should be there around 9'ish in the Am. I've only done two Valve adjustments, so I'm not like speedy Gonzolas but I'm game to help you out. Go pick up a feeler guage and a valve gasket along with some RTV to squidge on the gasket for a good seal...

[KenC]

Spring tool for valve adjustment? Is there an easier method than using a feeler gauge?
