How-To's / Engine failure due to pan gasket shift/bolt loss (e30 only)

« on: November 21, 2009, 08:23:33 PM »

I did this check today.  No bolts were out but 3 were loose.  As for what sealer to use. I used a non hardening gasket sealer on both the oil pan and the side of the gasket that faces the oil pan.  let them sit for a few min so they flash.  when they are tacky put them together.  On the other side of the gasket I used an rtv type sealer.  A small bead that went around each hole.  Overkill.. maybe, but I don't want it to leak any time soon.

Engine + Driveline / waterpump stuck will not budge

I put 2 I bolts into the pump flange, ran a screw driver though them and with a pry bar leveraged it against the center bolt of the main pulley.  Worked well.

So did you put the black plate back in place with the rubber boot or did you just forgo the whole thing?

How is this project going?  And how are you interfacing with the ECU?

What did the ford MAF connector look like?  I might be able to dig something up.

So if the problem is that the ECU isn't sampling as fast as the MAF, could we just overclock the ECU?  (mostly kidding)
