The V8 Owners Forum -

Dang looks like this engines scrap due to the leaking rocker covers. cheaper buying another engine than it is for 22 pieces of rubber. looks like i can only get em on egay.com. $297 + $197 postage, then another. £100 odd in customs charges....so as i say, even though its a perfect engine otherwise, ...

Well about a week ago I'm sure I dropped a 13mm nut down the timing case, so today i took the valve covers off, nothing, upper chain covers, nothing, lower chain cover, nothing........if it can't be foumd does it exist? Shortened chain by yeah much http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720...

Petrol can always find a way, its the difference between trying to un sieze a bolt with gearbox oil, instead of wd40......but yes I know where your comming from, and what you you can't see is its seamed on the inside

It actually lays out quite nicely.....certainly no more than maybe a standard e36 loom, i reckon if someone was considering a v8 the loom transplant would be the cheapest way to go, even the ignition barrel with the ews fits the e36 column. the dash is even the same size and shape so would fit the 3...

And 740 loom thinned out headlights to taillights keeping the abs and asc
