That was a punched out Yurro motor with one of those multi disk tiny clutches that rattles like nobody's business. Hunted like crazy at idle also. I don't mind a hunting idle, reminds me of those race cars. :-) Carlos 89 325i hunts a bit but it has no o2 sensor 98 M3 idles just fine after the M50 Eurosport intake conv. kit swap

#2. Compression gauge recommendations? - from bnmhead-bmw@yahoo.com

I'd prefer not to spend a fortune, but am willing to spend what it takes to get something that's good quality. As a point of reference, typically when I buy tools I'll buy SK, Mac, Cornwell, Facom - I don't usually buy Snap-On (nice, just too expensive IMHO) or Craftsman (unless it's something I'm sure I'll only use once - their professional line is good, was made by SK?). Thanks!

Is it > possible to convert a sedan from non-fold down to fold down rear seats? You'd have to start by cutting the access hole in the rear bulkhead. Then figure out how to attach all the fold-down seat hardware - it's a lot different than the non-fold down variety. Probably want to have an M3 with fold-down rear seats handy as a model or template for figuring out how all the "stuff" fits together and where. Sounds like a lot of work :-) Jim Bassett 1998 M3/4 - would to have rear fold-down seats, but not THAT much :-) 1993 325is #44 JP - nearly touring-like in it's openness :-)

AFAIK It would require cutting out the bulkhead and then welding in the brackets that the folding seatbacks attach to (which would first have to be cut out of a donor car). I have removed the folding rear seats from my coupe, although I haven't cut the mounting brackets out of it yet so I can take some pictures if you are really interested. -- Jamie Howton 2006 M Roadster 2004 645Ci 1995 M3 Hampshire, IL
