[StefanAnghel]

nice topic fella
keep the pictures coming!

[Dezzy]

Little update. Had a bit of a issue putting the cams back in. I touqued the head back down put the exhaust cam back in with no problem. I set about fitting the inlet cam and started in the middle on workrd out only tightening a few turns at a time and then i herd a noise i didnt like. I snapped cam. I would like to take this chance to thank danthe for sorting me a cam out and basicly saving me from getting the gas bottles out and melting the m50 into a pair of pat butchers earings. Cheers mate.

Gasket set


Skimmed head


M50 is now tripple overhead cam. Nice


I had a gasket but i had to get a new one because of the charger. This one is a special order from ecp direct from germany 3mm oversized to lower compression. I managed to sell the old one to a lad round the corner to cover some of the cost of this one. £55 head gasket. Nice

[Dezzy]

Also the scrap cat lad came round today and the cats off the e36 was worth £60 so that was nice.

[Dezzy]

Just want to thanks danthe again because the cam turned up today and i finished putting the motor togeather today. Thanks again mate. Top zoner

[DanThe]

Nice to see a whole cam, I was dreading the postman would drop it or something

[Dezzy]

It was wrapped up mint and believe me its nice too have it in in one piece. Really appricate you sorting that out mate. Cheers top man

[E30BeemerLad]

Glad you got sorted out with a cam dude

He's a pretty useful barsteward that Dan character isn't he

[Dezzy]

Ha ha i know i didnt think for one minute anyone would split a pair of cams and send it within a couple of days. Could not have asked for more. Just another reason i love this place, Thanks for asking him lee. Cheers

[Dezzy]

Few more pics of the 24v more door. Put the interior back in today. The carpets are back now and the parcel shelf too. The m3 seats need a good clean.

[Dezzy]

Thanks i will try. I am waiting for the starter motor now. Need to fit a m20 one witch I stupidly let go when I sold the engine and box out of the se. Once I have fitted the starter the lightened flywheel and sachs clutch can be bolted up and we are ready. More pics when I have something to show.

[Dezzy]

Just motor to go in on saturday mow. I am like a kid at christmas. Need it done yesterday.

[E30BeemerLad]

Got an exhaust manifold for it mate?

[Dezzy]

Got an exhaust manifold for it mate?

I had a cheep hottuning manifold on the se mate. I spoke to them about developing an m50 e30 manifold. They sent me a e36 one. I am going to make 1 out of the 2. Then send it back to them so they can pit them into production. That's the plan anyway mate.

[DanThe]

Oh those lovely E36 performance manifolds

[Dezzy]

Yeh mate I am only using the flanges the rest will be made up using the e30 item. I know they arnt the best but on the m20 it did make a difference fitting it. If I get it made it will be a very cheep manifold for me. I bought the e30 one off eBay for £60, they sent the e36 one foc. They will pick the moc up up and make one from scratch. I then get the first new one made all for nothing. If it fits and doesn't restrict flow then in my book that's a result. I would love to buy an off the self item but to much money. I have been looking for an s50 one but i have a custom straight through stainless system that was made to fit the cheep manifold. Hopefully i can make a good job of it.

[Dezzy]

Big progress to report today engine and box are in the shell. It was a tight squeeze but its in

[E30BeemerLad]

they look like they were meant to go in there don't they

Good work mate

[Dezzy]

Factory mate. They should have put them in.

[DanThe]

Looking forward to seeing how you get on with the manifolds

[Dezzy]

I am not after seeing how much space there is. Will keep you informed on progress. As always mate thanks for advice

[Dezzy]

Posty brought me the viper 2 chipped ecu on wednesday that i bought off danthe. I bought his old shrick cams as well off E30Beemerlad (lee) who has had an un expected change off plan. Lee came up last night to deliver them. Cheers lads. Cant wait to get it finished now should be a proper screamer





Happy with them got to be havent you

[DanThe]

Those are Bobs old cams mate, you wont be disappointed

Can I be next in line for these? Should have bought them ages ago!

[Dezzy]

Dan if i ever sell them mate there yours for what i paid for them. No worries. You will probs want the ecu back then as well eh?

[DanThe]

Cheers

[e30slg]

they look like they were meant to go in there don't they

Good work mate

was just thinking the same thing they seem to fill the gap better

[Dezzy]

Put it this way you need to use an electric fan on the other side of the rad. Viscos fan would reck the rad when hard braking.

[Dezzy]

Went out this morning and finished fitting the 63l fuel tank. They arnt any fun on your own like. Awkward to man handle on your back on gravel. Then fitted the rear end complete with new bushes. Need to fit the diff but want to fit new brake pipes as am putting discs instead of drums back on also means changing the handbreak cable. Anyone got an helpful tips as where they go into the body they look like a bit*h to get out. Pics tomorrow as its raining again now.

[Dezzy]

Finished manifolds used E36 ones in the end. They have been made to fit into the cross over pipes from hottunings cheep manifold. I am sending them back to be made up from stainless. Will try and get them made slightly larger so there is better flow. I have repaired the rear vallance and battery box. Only rot on the car. Also stripped front suspension down ready for new bottom arms and springs and shocks. Getting there slowly

[Dezzy]

Right went to Lee's last night for his M50 motor and we were quiet at work today so this i s what i did too it.















Sorry Lee this bottom end is mint loads of white metal left and bores are ok.

Crank pistons rods and shells are for sale if anyones needs them. Also have a mint set of M50 cams all available pm me if interested.

[Dezzy]

Right nothing really happened for ages.
Got some bits to finish. Prop is sorted and rear ends in. Half the Mtech kit is fitted
Should have some more news this week.

[magpie]

[Dezzy]
