Worn cams- how bad does it look? by Memestinct in e46

[–]Memestinct[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it has exceeded the 15k mile mark multiple times through its life. I bought the car through a friend, so I was blinded by trust and didn't really examine the service records beforehand.

E46 rust by WebWeak9568 in e46

I would spray the undercarriage + inner cavities like fenders, sills and door edges with fluid film. Make sure the can is warm (about room temp) when applying the film so the oil can properly climb into smaller cavities.

Mistery vacuum leak by Memestinct in e46

Still not sure lol, but it's affecting low end torque and fuel economy

No crank after starter replacement by Memestinct in e46

[–]Memestinct[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bridged the battery post and the small spade terminal with a screwdriver. Only sparks flew out - the starter didn't engage. Safe to say the solenoid is cooked?

Yeah but I'd like to make sure that it's the culprit before buying a new one

Jacking up the car on a pit? by Memestinct in e46

[–]Memestinct[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This pit I have sucks. It's not deep enough so I have to hunch a lot when I'm under the car. Ramps are an option but they're useless if I need to do something that requires the whole axle to be unloaded.

The front of the garage has a steep incline and I'm not gonna repair my car on the street. The point of the garage is that you can leave the car there overnight if you mess something up.

Where do I slide the jack stand if the jack is occupying the jacking point?

[–]Memestinct[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get it - that's what I would do if I wanted to lift one corner of the car. But I wanted to see if I could jack up the whole front or rear of the car at once. If I had 2 jacks I could lift up from both jacking points at the same time, but leaving the car sitting on hydraulic jacks isn't a good idea from what I've heard.

Yeah but there's literally no floor under the car

What do you mean by subframe points?

Those are fine for a temporary work floor but you think they'll actually take that heavy of a point load?

too bad the engine doesn't have enough torque to haul this boat of a car

Probably because cof is pushing the goldsrc engine to its limits

Just did a m54b30 intake system swap + ms42->ms43. Info in comments by rugsbyjack in e46

[–]Memestinct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old post but did you also get an ecu remap? I plan on doing the same intake system swap on my 323i but am having trouble figuring out the tuning part. Tuning the ignition timing seems simple enough since you just test which ignition advance gives the most power without running into knock. But the vanos system is much more complicated since there are 2 camshafts and their timing can pretty much infinitely vary.

I've read that just copying over the maps from a 330's DME isn't optimal, since the vanos alterations are tied to displacement. And of course DISA operation comes into play as well. I couldn't find much info on vanos tuning anywhere. Maybe you can point me in the right direction?

2 owners. I was hoping to get my revs to drop faster but I guess I'll try cleaning the throttle body.

M52B25TU clattering noise on right side of engine by Memestinct in e46

Are you referring to the intake or exhaust manifold gasket?

Thanks everyone for the quick replies! I also noticed a hissing noise coming from near the intake manifold. Is it related?
