Because engine very contaminated with sludge I'm going to use cheap oil and flushing agent.. And yes will also change filter with final oil

Is it Any spec for cheap oil or should it be 10/30 or something else? Thanks btw

Would running engine on idle for 5 mins be enough, or do I need to drive it. Also am I correct to think you don't think I should add any type of flushing agent as well?

Hello people, following hole in Head causing water to go straight into engine, can anyone recommend best way to do engine flush please? Thanks

Have just seen your link to other thread and can only say I don't remember posting that and I only received notifications for this thread..Maybe should say I only saw notifications of reply for this thread. After clicking on first notification that brought me here I didn't need to look at any other ...

Kool much appreciated Il do just that. Thankyou

The above is exactly what engineering place are doing, yes I could attempt to do it my self but feel I'd only destroy current dowel in process so better a professional touch I think anyway.. lastly, if I'm missing the obvious I apologise but when the dowel is fitted in new Camshaft the, timing belt ...

Thankyou, if I understand correctly you have said I can obtain a new dowel from BMW and put it into new Camshaft then everything will be same as old Camshaft yes?
Regards andy

With respect Brianmoooor you said... Do you mean you have a camshaft with the dowel stuck in the end of it, which isnt the same as ...you have one cam with a dowel in it. The word stuck infers it shouldnt be there, and I do not believe the dowel is stuck I believe its where it should be.. Anyway you...

My appologies Brianmoooore I stand corrected, I have just read about it via your link, Altho I dont know what other thread your referring to tho. I had an issue with e30 Head a few times in my life and cant recall specific content but I ve never had issue I have this time so cant see how i asked sam...

My quiery in the thread was asking if 2.7 head ending 200 could replace my 885 head. Please give me a link to show me where It's been answer because I missed it? Have new question tho... The end of my cam shaft has a round protruding bit to line up but my replacement 885 Head has a whole where protr...

Don't seem able to post picture of it?

Well I'm shocked no one could assist with above head question so have found out Heads matches up to block and then needs stuff done to actually work and.even then will lose something from all round performance so defo not the thing to do. on my head he nut & bolt came loose and fell out of rocker on...

Will a m20b27 Head (number 200) fit on M20b25 engine to replace cracked 885 Head?

Does anyone know if 2.7 eta e30 Head number ending 200 will fit M20b25 block to replace 885 head?

Nothings cheap when you need it? Shame as on 197 these specific models entered UK, 325 baur? Ahhh ffs

Yes, have just found out Heads Cracked... Kin gutted anyone have a good spare laying around they can let go of for the right money?

Am getting head pressure tested

Overheated then when put water in cooling system it disappeared bu couldn't see leak. Concluded must be going straight into engine which it was so thought HeadGasket

But after taking head off Head Gasket looks fine so leaves me thinking what was the cause? All ideas welcome people. Thanks

No that's not what I done... My reference to timing belt removed is saying that's what I intend to do if Cam mark is out, to get back in correct place. When I took Head off I cabled tied the timing belt to the cam timing belt pulls, and marked where was on the Head. No1 piston was TDC at start. So v...

Had new crankshaft and rings 15000 miles ago so pressure still good.

Also done valve clearances twice already so there's good

Also done valve clearances twice already so there's good

No one set.timing, I just replaced in same place... Moved enough to push sparkplug gap closed... Valve stems I think are good thanks.

Hello people, well due to allowing someone else to work on my e30, I ended up finding they had sheared 2 exhaust manifold studs, hence why needed to take head off. However when engine started up the knocking/Tapping meant switched straight off again. Anyway I thought I'd replaced everything exactly ...

OK cheers Matt, il center punch then use center drill then left handed drill bit using right handled drill when it arrives next week. Thanks all for your help much appreciated.

No threads spinning, when I got the right angled drill I'm good to go, altho going to practice on sheared wheel stud ( different Mota) And for the record it was a so called professional that sheared them. Itl be done at some point soon ish

Oh I bought Dormer A101 HSS ST Straight Shank Left Hand Jobber Drill Din 338 thinking would be good enough but I guess not and will look for what you have said.. Thankyou for advice.

Kool thankyou

I took off one of my current alloys to discover they are ET 1/5 that totally threw me, the forward slash in the middle must mean something and cant be 15 surely? I then dug out original alloys (...
