Interior / Seat break down

You will need some hog ring pliers and hog rings  to put that cover on. You can get a set for under $30. I'd get the angle pliers. it will help in tight spots.

My  m42 came with a  Dinan  chip  and I was wondering how it compares to the Mark  D  chip..

Is there any place  in the States you can send a throttle  body to  to get it bored out a bit to  open up the intake  side? Thanks..

You put your gasket in dry Redhead?  That seems a bit odd/

Engine + Driveline / Sounds good

That  sounds about  right. Funny  I have a new rebuilt  engine and the only leak is form the part I put  back on. I took the oil housing off  to refinish and remember an o-ring and a gasket. What did you use for gasket  sealant?  I think  I might have used hight temp silicone  when I should haved used the stickier  stuff.

Engine + Driveline / Oil leak from oil filter assembly

« on: April 11, 2009, 06:31:41 AM »

My 1991 m42 seems to be leaking from the oil filter housing where it bolts up to the block. Any one have this problem? Looks like just a gasket and possible o-ring to fix it. Plus initial looks point to needing to remove alternator mounting bracket to pull off oil housing. Any input?  Mucho gracias.

General Topics / OIL Housing Gasket Question

« on: November 23, 2007, 04:03:33 PM »

Does the oil  housing (to the block) gasket  need permatex or silicone? My new  rebuild has a slight oil leak  and it might be from that area. When I reattched oil  filter  housing unit  I used silicone  plus the gasket. Was  wondering if I messed it up.  Thanks..

Takings windows out is necessary. That's the EZ part. Stretching,clamping in place is the hard part.  At least oned FULL  day.  Just did a  non sun roof car which is  probable easier.

Nic Job. I picked up a set for  my 318is   for install  an now have decided against it since I already have a 325iX. So I will end up running Alpina front spoiler, Mtech rear and Taurus  side skirts( $35 at junkie). This way my 2 e30's  don't look the same...
