Hi All
I am about to replace the original 1990 M42 timing case with an e36 1993 version, the one that eliminates the idler sprocket.
The gasket to seal the case to the block is metal.
Any tips to install correctly, or same procedure as with the fibre gasket.
TIA
M42 timing case: metal gasket

Hi mark, iv just brought myself a 318 with a M42 in there, and was just wondering what the gains were of this mod and is it a straight swap without anything else needed?
thanks
ben
