E30 Zone

I see nothing in the OP that convinces me that there is anything serious wrong with the engine at all. The two symptoms mentioned are a small coolant loss and a few small spots of mayonnaise on the dipstick. Coolant loss: In my experience, a M20 E30 will not maintain the level in the bottle at the ...

Before you strip anything, get the cooling system pressure tested, making sure the engine is at operating temperature. Remove the cam/rocker cover before doing this test. While the test is underway, look for water weeping up from under the camshaft, particularly towards the rear of the head. This i...

but wouldn't it be a good idea to do some diagnostics on your existing head first, to establish whether or not there is actually something wrong with it? My thoughts exactly! Hi, the head was welded (very little spots from water damage), skimmed, valves guides replaced, done the valves and pressure...

Hi and thank you for the info. I am looking now to buy a brand new cylinder head from AMC.
Any opinions on the amc cylinder head????

Hi and thank you for the quick reply!

I am looking for a very good second hand unit or a recondition!!!!

Thanks

Happy new year, I am having a problem with my engine, its been some weeks that a small amount of water is disappearing from the expansion tank we check and double check were the water is going no leaks no nothing. Yesterday I have found on the oil dip stick 5-6 small spots of oil-mayonnaise. I belie...

In the UK, the 3.91:1 LSD was standard on the 325i Sport, but could be specced from new on any 325i if the buyer wanted.

No I am not in the UK but postage can be arranged!!

Do you know anyone that has such a diff for sale??

A 4.10:1 will make any long distance run very tiresome as the engine will be revving higher with more noise. Even though there isn't a huge gap between a 3.91:1 and 4.10:1, I wouldn't go shorter than the 3.91:1. Also the E30 4.10:1 LSDs are usually small case diffs which possibly won't last too lon...

Hi there I have found a 4.10 LSD that is for sale! Is the 4.10 too 'short' will affect top speed?? Someone told me that the top speed will be not more than 100mph??? Will be the highway cruising ok or at 120-130km the rpm will be 4500?? Please advice asap. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks i...

Dear All Hi,

I have an E30 325i and I want a LSD differential as my car does not have a LSD.

Can you please advice me which is the best LSD that I have to find? Ratio?

I want a LSD to improve also acceleration but to be ok for cruising as I am traveling.

Thank you in advance

Throttle position sensor? Possibly not registering WOT signal. They're known to fail due to oil ingress. I will check that also!! Are they any measurements that I can do for adjusting it? (The throttle that I am using came from a M20B25 with Automatic transmission I don't know if that plays a role?...

Possibly cambelt out by one tooth? Which ECU are you using, e.g., 0 261 200 173. Hi! Yes the 173 ECU! Anything about the ECU?
