Title: e30 m42 rebuild?
Post by: beegeezy on January 13, 2008, 02:55:38 AM

Is there a rebuild 'kit' available? I havent found one searching through google. Id like to freshen mine up while its out of the car. Thanks!

No, i don't think there is any kits available but you can buy the components seperate, eg - pistons, main bearings, conrods and bearings, bottom end gasket set, etc.
You can have have a look at Pelican Parts' technical articles for the engine rebuild section, i think they have some advice for what to look for when doing a rebuild.

Hope this helps.
