failing that, just let it fall off the bottom of the page :behindsofa:

cheers in advance!
(waits for the flaming for multiple treads on same thing)

Have looked at other thread. Engine is knackered crank looks beyond grind.. You could refurb it but mega bucks to do that. You need to start looking for replacement engine.

p38's aint me strong point yet.....

cheers wammers for taking the time to read and reply. appreciated.

Any M51 from a Omega, BMW. Few things to change sump, injection pump top. Maybe a few sensors, other than that fairly straight forwards. Problem being replacement is an unknown quantity, unless you can see and hear it running before it is stripped out.
