If you want to upload more than 4 pictures (I thought it was 3) just make a second reply to the thread, and upload the pictures 3 or 4 at a time.

IIRC the plate they show as a shim in regard to the flywheel, is actually a plate with tabs on it that are bent against the bolt heads that hold the flywheel to the crank so they can't get loose.

That plate with the locking tabs is why you don't need/use lock washers.

Welcome to bigcoupe!
I've got zero experience with automatics in E24s, so someone else will have to pipe in with suggestions.

Welcome to the group! That sounds like a great adventure! One suggestion: I enjoy driving tunes as much as anyone, but when blasting the back roads nothing beats the music of a BMW inline six.

I guess it keeps starting and dying doing those tests. Question is, where's the fuel coming from if there's no fuel line to the CSI?

If I had one apart I'd darn sure change the expansion valve. It's too common a failure point to reuse the old one.

My two cents worth.

I would like, for the sake of elimination, that the CSI fuel line be disconnected and the electrical connection to the valve be disconnected, then several starts attempted. If it fires more than once, it's not the CSI. Pressure after one start would be nonexistent, and fuel wouldn't get past the inj...

I've seen many people say the car could be firing on the cold start valve but not the main injectors, however I disconnected the fuel hose from the cold start valve in order to test fuel pressure and it still starts up then dies. I think it's significant that it still starts and dies with no fuel t...

Oh, MY!
Did you do it yourself, buy a kit, or what?

He was very busy, so sometimes slow to reply, but he came through on the sale of the OZ Racing wheels. He was forthright about the minor damage that was done when removing the old tires. He included some nice "extras", too. Packed everything VERY well and shipped in a timely manner. I am happy with ...

For some unknown reason, your pictures didn't attach.

Why not fix the bracket you have? Any competent weldor with a TIG machine could stitch that back together.

Kurtamine, I don't know what's happened to you, I hope nothing bad, but a couple us have sent multiple PMs to you that haven't been read, let alone replied to. PLEASE check your PMs and reply. I WANT THOSE OZ WHEELS. All I need is a total with shipping and how you want to be paid and the money will ...

Bravo, sir! If someone can't remove the cluster using those instructions and pictures, there's not much hope for them.

You got it!

check your pms

Yes, please check your PMs, I have two sitting in my outbox, one has been there for several days. I hope you are ok, what with the hurricane and all. The tires are here, waiting for the wheels.

For a first post, that's a doozie.

Good luck.

My wife has threatened to toss all my equipment if I don't get it out of the living room (I'd like to see her lift any of it! This stuff is HEAVY). I must admit, it's gotten a bit out of hand.... ham gear.jpg So I've decided to buy myself a "ham shack", a 10x18 prefab building. I'll finish the insid...

Boy, it's good to see you posting again, Brucey!

You do realize you can post them directly to Bigcoupe.com, right? Then they'll be here regardless of what happens with the photo hosting sites.

Welcome to the group. It sounds interesting, but you really need to tell us more about the car (mileage, condition, etc.) and post LOTS of pictures, especially of the underside so we can look for rust.

It's because you have fewer than 5 (?) posts. I forget the actual number, but you have to have x number of posts before you can PM.

Very nice writeup, but NONE of the pictures posted. Could you please edit and try posting the pictures again?

Spinning up an engine before actually firing it up is always a good idea.

Brucey only needs 51 more to reach 10k posts, but where is he? Hasn't posted since MARCH! I'm concerned.
