Looking good!

It looks like your a few years ahead of me in terms of building a Dakar track rat. I still have a couple more years of DD to get through

Yep, that was a fun day!

Haha sick. That was like 2 years ago

Today I pulled the motor from the donor car


Time to get high! This shit is laughing gas.


Got the motor pulled and took off the valve cover to see a perfect head. I was going to tear down the motor and replace some parts, but everything looks too fresh to touch for now. I should be able to just pop this puppy in! No scoring or wear anywhere!







Tomorrow (Today) I'm going to see what I can do about the oil pump nut. Get the rear end in the car and hopefully the motor.

Dude, you soooo need to start hitting the Trillium schools!!!

You want to see and learn about fully built E36's then that's where you need to be!!!

Ask Scott about doing 136 MPH on the back strait on a ride along!!!

RE: Oil pump nut, there's a solution from VAC motorsports. I'm gonna order the E46 version prob. near end summer if you can wait (maybe we can get a better deal..)

For now I think im going to Red Loctite it. I hear some people center punch the threads as well.

^Im thinking of doing the same but keep reading that once the nut is secure the stress gets transfered to the pump shaft which then shears off! Sometimes I wonder if we're just too paranoid..
