on the good side, after the rod came out it drove nearly a mile back to my house. LOL

**Thighs** · 02-01-2009, 10:07 AM

**EJ25RUN** · 02-01-2009, 10:10 AM

**DinanM3atl** · 02-05-2009, 11:01 AM

Real cars have straight sixes

i only know what a S52 is...brother be talkin bout it(hes got a m3)

**Elbow** · 02-05-2009, 11:02 AM

Yeah, it's a 6 lol.

**Benefit** · 02-05-2009, 11:04 AM

hmm, would that even work...taking the piston and rod out, wont the injectors flood the crank case = thin oil = more rod bearing spinnage LOL

**Benefit** · 02-05-2009, 11:05 AM

i guess as long as u have the plate on there....

**Elbow** · 02-05-2009, 11:06 AM

Unplug the injector for that cylinder, make it a true I-5.

**Benefit** · 02-05-2009, 11:08 AM

lol thighs do it!!!!!!

**Logan** · 02-05-2009, 11:54 AM

I feel you man, I have an e30 in the garage I need to pull the head on.

Skipped timing and thats all she wrote.

I pulled her out of the garage and put it under a cover for a spring time project.

**matthewAPM** · 02-05-2009, 05:34 PM

carma sucks

**Thighs** · 02-05-2009, 09:16 PM

^^ i think you'll find that out later in life. my bad carma came from beating the hell out of a motor that i didnt know the true mileage/history of, not making shit up and lying my ass off about EVERYTHING.

anyways, m20s arent expensive, but i motors are getting harder to find. luckily i found one for 350 and im borrowing the money from a family member to go get it on saturday.

lol @ the idea of converting it to a 5 cylinder... i thought of that though. but i had to cut the timing belt to get the head off (lazyass ftw).

**HeLLo iM iZzY** · 02-05-2009, 09:38 PM

Ill buy it like that, PM ME

**wannab20hatch** · 02-05-2009, 09:38 PM

sorry to hear that man. theres a whole e30 in the driveway but im pretty sure my little brother would be pissed to see the motor missing. even though he cant drive it yet. lol
