  1. Thanks Elijah !

    No reason, ive just been suggested to use a 260 as per another mate thats done it, and yes he has mentioned the shifter issue. Th vehicle currently has an m40 in it as the moment, reckon the manual box from that would be sufficient ? and also what clutch & flywheel would i use ? Would the drive shaft & diff need to be changed too ? Also would the m40 240 match the M50b25 ? (It is out of an e34 525i)

    Cheers :)

  6. Don't forget too its a 23 year old engine too - it's going to reflect that ^_^

    Play around with some different grades of oil, see if that helps.

    Otherwise try rebuild the cylinder head, measure all components to factory spec and replace those not with in the correct tolerance.

    True that, now when you mean different grades of oil what are the types that i can go for ??

    Yeah if running different oil doesn't work then i might just have to give that a go.

    Cheers :)


  7. Ive got an 318i E30 with a M40B18 motor and it makes a horrible ticking sound every now and then and its annoying and sounds terrible. I've been told that it can be dirty lifters or the engine needs to run thicker oil, or a clean. Anyone got any suggestion as to what could be wrong ?? and how i could get it to stop ?

    Cheers
