engines a m50b25 vanos was told it was 110k miles on removal from a 525i e34 auto but had been robbed of its manifold and sump for a m52 conversion so long story shot its been sat around in a garage for a year plus with no sump or inlet on it. obviously it now has all of these bits and is in my e30 now but it has a strange combo of tappet noise,vanos rattle ,and timing chain noise when given some abuse .was fully serviced prior to being put in with 10/40 semi synth . the other thing is when driven casually for a few miles it goes silent not a rattle,tap anything sounds perfect
and im also after a m20 facelift coding plug if any are for sale my revs are going crazy
I shall say no more
