Engine + Driveline / M42 Oil Sump Change

« on: December 07, 2013, 06:29:09 AM »

Hi all
I'm after a bit of advice regarding my oil sump i have a hair line crack in it which have patched up with chemical metal but i have got a new sump ready to fit. But what i want to know is when it comes to fitting the new sump will i have to have the engine hoisted out slightly in order to get the sump of or is there an easier way of doing it without lifting the engine up to gain access.

Cheers
Dale

Hi Dave thanks for the advice thats lovely. As for the m44 conversion i there might have been a bit of confusion what i was asking was that if i could put an m44 instead of an m42 as one of the donors im looking at has one. I'm guessing id need to change ecu is there any other issues involved?

Engine + Driveline / M42 Removal Advice

« on: August 22, 2013, 02:56:18 PM »

Hi All
My 95 318is engine has given up the ghost i have purchased a donor veihicle my question is this is it possible to pull the engine wiring loom out with the engine that way there is no awkwardness of working out what connector goes where.

Also one final question has anyone done an m42 to m44 swap before is there any differences i should look out for?

Any Help would be greatly appreciated
many thanks
