The Beast I Drive Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 The rear diff and the rear subframe are both equally lifted 4", I built blocks to lift everything the same amount. -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigo1966 Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 Well its official, after playing in all the snow we got yesterday i managed to blow the timing belt. Ill tear into her tomorrow. I hope i didnt damage anything from the belt breaking. I also discovered that my dist is worn out. Pics to come. Orion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru_dude Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 If it's an EA82 you didn't hurt a damn thing by breaking the belt. As a matter of fact, any engine prior to 1997 (and even some early 1997 models) was non-interference. So you, my friend, are GOLDEN!!!

The Beast I Drive Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Hey man, your blocks are in the mail and on the way! Oh, and your engine is fine, EA82 motors are non interference so if you lose a belt its no big deal. -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are all EJ18, and all the early EJ22, non-interference However ALL DOHC motor(2.5) are interference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigo1966 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 I test fitted 32's on a 5" lift, i need to trim the fenders and firewall a little more. The Sedamn is also going to get a fresh coat of HAMMERED Black spray paint. Ill get some pics up soon. Im still trying to track down an 1100cc+ liquid cooled shaft mototcycle engine.

But rarely, you can have a gear break, and you'll bent the push rods... ask Subiemech85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigo1966 Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Timing belt changed(with some help from Bill). So i decided to test fit the 32's. I also swaped out the rear combination coils for a combination of Sedan Coils and Wagon coils and i got a 5" strut block from Bill. Its sitting pretty level now.

ahole Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Dude, I just saw your ride in Lafayette today. I was riding the sweet black old BMW. It looks pretty cool but I noticed your camber is WAY off. You should get that fixed before you wreck your tires. Those wheels look sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 The camber is off because he wanted a little bit extra lift on the front struts, so it has 4" lift blocks on the engine crossmember and 5" on the struts, which will create possitive camber. -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigo1966 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 If I was going to keep the Sedamn as a DD I would fix the camber. Once I drop a motorcycle engine and trans under the hood I wont drive it nearly as much so im not to concerned with the camber. Not only that my 5 min commute is going to turn to an hour at the end of this month....either that or im unemployed. Were you in a diesel BMW?

bigo1966 Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 DUDE I saw you!!!!!!!! I was thinking to myself "ive never seen an engine case that looked that like. Pretty cool.....and small world. Why is the case shaped like that? Whats in the upper portion? And it even has an H pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
