Guest FrantiC Report post Posted October 4, 2009 Why not throw the entire 2.3 in instead, if it's a complete motor? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted October 5, 2009 even better put M20B25 in from a facelift e30 325i or early e34 525i Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow you work fast.. it shouldn't be half a tooth off, all the heads are timed the same and the gears are the same. have you got a timing belt on there? Tried cranking it round a few times? Tensioned correctly? All be it you should be using a NEW timing belt btw, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted October 5, 2009 Half a tooth on the crankshaft is one tooth on the camshaft...recheck your timing marks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
