M42 rebuild manual

[vee030]

Does anyone know if there is a rebuild/repair manual for the m42?

I already have the e36 Bentley.
But was wondering if there was ever an m42 specific rebuild manual with bearing clearances, torque settings, etc...

I used the e36 chiltons. Similar to this but mine has the older cover: https://www.amazon.com/CH18400-Chilt...s=Chiltons+BMW

Had everything from torque specs to Remove/Replace entire engine.

Thanks!
Just ordered a second hand copy on ebay as it was only $11.

m42club is a great resource.
Unfortunately it isn't very active these days...

When they switched formats and all of the links to useful posts broke they pulled a 2002faq and killed user numbers. At least that's why I mostly left and ended up here.
