Re: Dinan Turbo Joins The Family
Turbos help reduce noise so I bet it isn't overly loud even if nor much of a muffler there!

Re: Series One brake master cylinder .
Hello, Do not know if this helps. My very early Series I 633CSI (June 1977) utilizes part number 34311120832. Available at both Autohausaz and Pelicanoarts from OEM supplier ATE for US$ 242-256, respectively. https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=5231-EUR-06-1977-E24-BMW-633CSi&diagId=3...

Re: M30 tensioner piston
Rob,
I may have one if you really need. Though it is used and likely not worth it with shipping. But maybe if you really need one... I don't know the true mileage of it, just that it's been in an entine off the road for over 10 years.

Re: 1979 635CSi Euro - Henna Revival Project
I got the wheels on and they look better than expected which is great! The flat tire was replaced too. However, I am still trying to figure out why the car is misfiring, although seemingly randomly. I put the distributor at the stock position and know that ignition timing is about right. Sometimes t...

Re: Rod cap bearing orientation
Note that Mark is the tangs marking from the opposite end.
The tangs sit on opposite sides when installed together, leaving imprints on the opposite faces.
Each bearing should have the tangs sitting in the groove and they should each be opposite each other when installed.

Re: 1979 635CSi Euro - Henna Revival Project
Thanks guys! Bobbo, I have a garage that is insulated, so it stays warm (though it isn't heated, per se). There has also been a lot of warm weather lately that has allowed me to work on some of these items. I was also really focused in the fall working on these projects late at night as I got on top...

Re: Dinan Turbo Joins The Family
Any tips on your restoration process of cleaning prepping priming and painting the wheel wells? Where do you get your paint? Are you using glausurit 1k paint for the henna color? How do you paint the nooks and crannies and not get overspray or runs? You make the restoration and refinishing look so e...

Re: Early Euro Rear Bumper - Questions about Mounting Hardware
I have a set from a rear bumper that got damaged. Not sure how much I'd ask, but an option maybe if you cant find elsewhere.
It got hit in the bumper a few years after this photo.

The square hole is intended for a carriage bolt to prevent it from turning. The square locks in place so the nut can be tightened from underneath.

Re: B35 head on Euro B34
Robb, If I had euro B34, I would go with B35 head and intake, maybe consider M1.3. Though I am not sure the specs on the other head you have, I have heard good things about Hartge engines. So I guess I would check to see if the hartge head has the same size valves or any different size. I would exam...

Do you think the temp sensor signal inside the afm could be faulty? That is another critical input for the fuel mixture calculation.

Re: Oil Pressure Warning Light
Cold oil will be a bit thicker and if parked nose up, it may take a bit more to build pressure. Nose down will really help it! Check the low hanging fruit first: your M30B35 oil filter housing may be draining empty and have to refill every start... If it is an m30b35 and easy way to check is let it ...

Re: 1980 635CSi Euro
Good news! I put the later oil cooler housing on the car and no more leaks! It is smaller diameter and has a small drain fitting from an 81 635 or 735 and uses the o41x filter. Though I do sort of miss the Red oil filter housing. https://drive4corners.com/wp-content/usergallery/hashtag/20240226_1858...

Re: Anti-roll (sway) bars
Larger swaybars such as e28 m5/m6 size of 25/18mm will tear mounts, speaking from experience using Ireland engineering sway bars on e28 chassis.
