Cheers

Old post I know but due to the weather getting better I'm thinking about getting the E30 out. Cheers for checking NoTurbo.. If the strobe is erratic its probably interference on the strobes pick-up, make sure all other HT leads are away from it and the lock is properly locked! Mark with tip-ex on th...

Cheers rix313.. Yeah correct, I got the lot from DanThe rack, pipes, and steering shaft. Yeah I too had problems fitting it, was like an intelligence test, consequently took me a while! :mad: however DanThe was quick to answer my question and help me get it sorted. Cheers DanThe :D Problems firstly ...

Hey, that would be cool NoTurbo if possible, the engine is finished and back in (I used the M42 head) its been running warmed up and for a very light smoke up the road and back as its only used in summer, all I have to do is the timing check the get the front wheel alignment set as whilst the engine...

Cos the first M42 I had died a death where the timing idler gear snapped of its mount, after buying another engine and running it to find the timing chain/gear set was warn and rattling I decided rebuild engine. I had a seized M44 lying about, I figered the M44 is the better engine due to all the kn...

What even if u have welded a m42 cps holder onto a m44 case?

Would any of you M42 owners with an adjustable stroboscope fancy checking the ignition timing @ idle for a fellow m42 owner? I got : 12deg @ 850 (idle) 18deg @ 1500 22deg @ 2000 34deg @ 2500 43deg @ 3000 44deg @ 3500 I'm checking that I have placed the CPS in the correct place and can't find any spe...

Can anyone tell me what the igniting timing should be at idle on a M42?

I have just done the E46 clubsport conversion to my 318is.. easy when you know how! took a little mucking about but all in all easy considering other conversions.. I used 14mm spacers in the front holes ( originally I fitted the rack in the back mounting holes because it was the obvious choice - no ...

Hi, Can anyone tell me if the check valve and associated parts are needed in the block of the M42?

^^^ Or match up to the rest of the E30 exhaust. The flange shape/size is the same the only difference is that the m44 has a cast flange and studs, my down pipe connects straight up to the m44 manifold...

Looks like I need a E36 Haynes manual!!

Best info Iv come up with after asking Google was from:
http://www.esatclear.ie/~bpurcell/318isengine.html

Anyone else got any M42 engine building information links?

yeah if you can that would be cool, cheers...

Im after at the moment ring end gaps.. anyone??

I have a Haynes manual but it dosen't cover m42.. which one do i need?

Hi, can anyone point me in the right direction regarding M42 engine building information, torques, tolerances, guidelines, etc.. ??
I have a E36 Bentley manual but it has only brief info Cheers

In need of some parts for re-building my M42 wondering if anyone has used aftermarket parts, if so what/where would they recommend? Just talking stock stuff Maybe bearing shells, rings. Defo gaskets, seals, timing chain, sprockets, water pump.. Internal parts i.e.: oil pump parts, relief valve parts...

Im learning! I expected there to be more of a obvious relation between TDC, trigger wheel and CPS.. Is the ECU programmed to know that after X amount of teeth has been counted from reset point, #1 piston is at TDC? What does the Cam sensor do? Im nearly sure that the mount is very close to correct p...

Cheers for info: Yes I'm not asking how to work it out (simpler way would be to use another timing case that iv got and a degree wheel to measure where it needs tobe) I already have the doner M44 engine so its cheaper todo this instead of buying another £250 engine.. It's not like theres a lot of we...

Hi all, I have removed a M42 CPS holder from its timing case, trying to locate CPS holder onto a M44 case so I can weld it on using a jig to hold it in the correct place. Yes it will be square to the pick-up wheel yes it will have the correct air gap BUT if it is 2mm +/- up or down from where it sho...

Here's how I did my e21: chopped out sill sided mount boxes, mocked up e30 seats by bolting seats onto tranny tunnel boxes, worked out the new hight of sill side boxes then cutdown, welded in and braced for more strength..

Cheers for info.. I only use tax / insure it for 6 months a year and probably dont drive more than 2k miles. Yeah I was going to fit the M44 but after doing the decider compression test and finding #2 @ 90psi thouht it was a no go! Squirted same amont of oil in cylinders and that leveled compression...

Kaning it means: hoofin it, tanning its ass, smoking it, giving it some laldy, kicking its head in, lighting it up... basically trying to drive fast whilst not righting the car or a on coming motorist off!!

The coge is attached to the inner casing via a mount, this mounts can break off.
