WTB/WTT / WTB: e30 M42 timing case in SoCal
« on: May 13, 2013, 09:25:18 PM »
One of my timing chain guides decided to break apart and put too much tension on my chain, breaking the idler sprocket out of the timing case. I'm in urgent need of a timing case that would swap into my 1991 318i. Part #1 on this diagram:

Engine + Driveline / Re: Incorrect ignition timing? (video/pics)

Idler wheel, tensioner, and guides were perfect.
Had multiple friends texting me, Figured it out. Intake cam got bumped before it was tightened, causing too much intake advance. Not ignition timing related. Thanks guys.

Engine + Driveline / Incorrect ignition timing? (video/pics)
« on: April 10, 2013, 06:12:57 PM »
Recently replaced the head/all gaskets.
Woodruff key is in the crankshaft correctly, pulley is lined up with the dowel pin (also verified by physically checking that #1 is at tdc when the arrow and notched tooth line up), coil plugs seem to be in the right coils, plug wires are matching their cylinders, have oil pressure.
Engine sounds perfect with the plug wires off or the plugs pulled. (not a valve, cam, or other head related problem) but as soon as I plug the wires on the plugs it has a crazy knocking sound which means my ignition timing is off.
HALP
In this one you can see the notched tooth, the gap in the teeth, and the pin orientation.
DON'T LISTEN TO THE LAST VIDEO UNTIL YOU TURN YOUR SPEAKERS DOWN. I accidentally covered the mic until 0:19.
Without plugs:

WTB/WTT / WTB: non-cracked e30 m42 head
« on: March 31, 2013, 10:55:53 AM »
Preferably a complete head, possibly even timing gears (mine are getting pointy)
I'm in socal, but if you can ship, that would work too.

This weekend I installed...
New control arms and M3 CABs
H&R 29664 springs
Bilstein Sports
E90 drop hats
I'm pretty pleased with the looks and very pleased with the comfortable ride, yet much improved handling.
Next weekend...
Z3 rack swap
And yet you don't post pictures or measurements.... :confused:
