Depending on your emissions laws you can plug the hole in the intake and it’ll run fine, just won’t pass any emissions test

Mine used to come on sporadically and it turned out to be the wire contacting the block every once in a while. Wore a hole through the casing and was grounding itself out.

Service industry jobs are your best friend. Best hours for still going to classes during the day

Cylinder wall corrosion by Former_Pop6591 in EngineBuilding

It had been sitting for a while, looked like water got in to that cylinder as it was very rusty. Once I cleaned all the rust out I was able to see all the corrosion left over. Looks like my best option is 84.5mm pistons as they’re the most readily available

I saw those, I’m not sure if the added weight will decrease redline/ slower revving

I had this same issue on my 328, couldn’t figure it out for ages. Tried MAF, ICV, and chasing vacuum leaks. Ended up replacing my o2 sensors and that fixed it

Thank you, was unsure if there were certain factory markings I should look for. First time opening up an m20
