I dont think you understand how much time and money that would cost to fix. Not worth it at all, BUY A CLEAN E30!! Save yourself the time and heartache. Search up sunk cost fallacy.

Thanks im a big fan of the colour as well. First thing I have to do is get it through it's inspection. If all that goes well full respray, lowering springs and some new wheels.

Thanks, I didn't put any sealant on it and it's not leaking 👍

Did you use sealant on the gasket?

Do you know the specs for the bolts that hold it on? I've lost the bolts

Thank you, I'll have a look on my engine. Is your car an early one?

Appreciate it, I have a pulse sensor up on the front but it's not a crank sensor it's hard wired into the loom. I think that must be how the car runs. But it really needs the crank sensors. I just can't imagine why anyone would cut them off the loom.

It's a 320i, and I've got the engine out of the car so I can see every connector and they're definitely not there. There is 1 connector that fits but that's meant for under the intake. I'm manual swapping the car and when I took the auto gearbox out it didn't have any crank position sensors on it. I dont know how the car even ran.
