URGENT: Where is the oil pressure check valve?
« on: June 06, 2010, 01:10:39 PM »
A DIY posted here for the e36 m42 mentioned an "oil pressure check valve" under a rubber gasket and in a hole on the block. This is for a head gasket job. My car is an e30 and we see no such rubber gasket or valve. Can anyone help? Urgent!

Hey sorry I meant oil pressure 'check valve'. Turned out the e30s don't have them. Spent an hour trying to find it for nothing!
