Before this guy blows up his "new" engine, are you guys SURE this will work??
I ask because I remember back in the day when Pete McHenry bought a 325iX engine to stick into a 2002 and he ended up not being able to use it for a couple of reasons. One of the main ones IIRC was that the oil pump spins in the opposite direction on the iX, so he said that using the non-iX oil pump would not work because the pump would be turning in reverse- so it would pull the oil out of the oil passages and dump it into the pan instead of the other way around.
Just asking....I don't know for sure one way or another.
