If you need a replacement sensor, shoot me a PM. I just stripped a running motor.

Engine + Driveline / Bent valve stems?

Upon closer inspection, the poor bastards are CLEARLY bent, I was hoping for... I don't know. I'll snap some pics, just in case there arent enough pictures of damaged valves in these timing chain eating interference motors.

Yeah, that's what I figured... the pistons are perfect through, must have *just* tapped the carbon on them. Damn. Oh well.

I have two M42's I am tearing down... on one of them, with the head off and the cams out the valves look a little uneven in the head and not flat with the edges. About 8 of the 16 are sticking out further than the rest... should all the valves be pulled in, flat against the top of the combustion chamber when there are no cams in?

Engine + Driveline / Removing crankshaft bolt.

I jammed a bar between a few flywheel bolts and the block so the crank is not spinning, but the damn nut is definitely not coming off. I've only had to break the crankshaft nut off cars 2x before in my life, and both of those were battles but much easier than this. Is it normally threaded? Lefty-loosey? I'm at my wit's end lol.

Removing crankshaft bolt. The 22mm one... I'm using a wrench and about 3feet of 318is exhaust as a breaker bar, but it will hold there until i flip the engine block. I've soaked it with PBlaster to no avail... anyone have any tips? I have the bare block with just pistons and crank in it, sitting out of the car. It's getting a little annoying! I'm just trying to get the pistons and rods out but the crank is in the way, so I need to pull it.
