Hi, could anyone with a M42 in bits have a look in the top of the block and see if there is parts 9 and 10 in it for me? ive ordered them but when i came to fit them they are the wrong size, and it looks like the one bmw sent would press in were as my block seams to be tapped around M8/M10 i would say.

I had my (E30) block machined to accept it part, and customized the rubber seal to make it all work.

Hi Rob why did you go to the effort of fitting it? not knocking what you have done, just intrested.

It's a check valve that keeps oil in the head after shut down.
