i need a stud that holds the lifter tray and cam bearing caps. i called my local BMW dealer and the guy on the phone had no idea what i was even talking about. if it make a difference i need the one that is closest to the spark plugs.
part number?

figured this would be the best place to ask, seeing that alot of us are inside the motors

Man, that's a lot of chunky grime in your head..

Yeah def is - some bend seems ok, but thats a lot. Never seen it that bent before must have been during transit some time.

this was the motor i bought to build. after i told the guy the i would take the motor he sold the exhaust cam, lifter tray and bearing caps. the guy also lacked a cherry picker, so he lowered the motor onto a board and lifted the car up and pulled it out. that why it's bend and dirty

Is that a broken oil pan?


When you say bearing caps, you mean in the head right? Not the block caps I hope.

What'd you pay for that?

yes thats a broken oil pan, and yes the cap that go on top of the cams. not the block caps

What'd you pay for that?
$200 for motor, trans, wiring harness, and ECU

Need a new pan? Pm me. What trans did it come with and which motor is it?

i got one for $30 from a friend

M50B25, 5speed getrag, with a 413 red label(iirc)

You can get $200 for the ECU alone, haha. Good deal.

i figured i'd get shot for not taking a deal like that. even with a broken oil pan and missing the half the exhaust valvetrain
