Is this Pump Gas-able?

[AWDBOB]

One of the bigger helpers I have messed with over the years is a high quality wax (cosmoline) coating. I personally use RP-342 over the POR or whatever product is used there. It helps, SO much.

Agreed- I just don't have a good way to CC the pistons, or I'd already be on it. Will be CCing the chambers tomorrow....

[AWDBOB]

Yeah I wasn't a fan at first, mounted them up, and was quite pleased!!

Scored a leather black rear seat today (to match the black leather sport front seats), as well...

[AWDBOB]

Well I'll be damned..... I did some digging and that Victoria/Weber 2.8L is 14:1, and I think these are the exact pistons that they used in this motor. See below for a shot of their JE 14:1 piston....

Linda is 10.5:1 with a 284/280 Billet IE cam.





Yep, that's what I figured I'd find re: cranking compression - I expected Linda to be lower with the cam I used,...

That was my plan- I need to find a way to get a reading on dome volume (clay mold and fill to measure CC’s) to get the proper sized HG.

I’m really just hoping that digger comes in here...

Hey R3V-

I recently acquired this freshly built 2.8L M20, and it seems pretty aggressive. The bottom end consists of an M52b28 crank, 135mm Carrillo rods, and custom JE pistons, that appear...

Rust free manual E30 for $5k, I’ll take four

I have a good chassis harness out of an ‘89 325iS, in 46013.

Last job I'll be able to get done this weekend was installing the door cars. I like natur leather sport interior, but cannot stand tan vinyl comfort interior..... so it had to go.

I had these...

[AWDBOB]

Did you ever end up getting back to the dyno?...

[AWDBOB]

Thanks, gents!! The more I look at the wheels on the car, the more I think they're meant to be.

2mAn - agreed! I have so many spare parts I have been hoarding for hoopty, it's nice to...

twright just went through the process of importing his wagon. The price seemed quite reasonable....

The secret to not hating your life when doing front swaybar bushings is ordering a set of these:

[AWDBOB]

I think it's a totally different experience than that of a 5sp car. I cruised an auto iX for a while, and it was a pleasurable experience if you set your expectations appropriately.

Regarding...

[AWDBOB]

Glad to see this coming along!...

[AWDBOB]

Bahaha good eye- the springs that came on the car are made by Vogtland and are soooo low, I can only assume these shocks are bottoming out constantly. JakeB gifted me some new KYBs he wasn't using,...

[AWDBOB]

Yes indeed- thanks again for your help!




Whenever I get around to it, yes....

[AWDBOB]

I do not think the kid I sold it to took very good care of it/if any care at all. The doc you bought it from had it serviced at Reggies (where I assume your receipts are from), and they do incredible...
