rcofer Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 After a year of putting off the build, the engine is out. I would like to know what needs to be replaced on a 120,000 mile engine. Oil pump,oil pickup tube,timing chain? My goal is to try and complete by June. I did Comp. school in July and I am running in SE30. This is going to be a car that my son-in-law can do HDs in if I can get him off of circle tracks as well as a spare for me. The car is a 94 325i that was a auto and a lot of FUN changing it over to a 5-speed Thanks Rick C MA SE30 Rookie Red #184 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whaden Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 With the bottom off, I'd at least replace the rod bearings/rod bolts (bolts are one time use) and lock the oil pump sprocket nut (reverse thread - either tack weld or thread lock (Loctite) at the very least) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scany Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 120k, the engine is just a baby! Agree with Will, rod bearings, bolts and secure the oilnut. I'd do more maintenance on the top if there is time/money constraints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
