For as long as Iv had this car it has never been driven. Im determined to get her up and running. When I got the car the timing chain had snapped and caused massive damage to the block. So I swapped motors (m62) for an identical one. This car is a manual and the other motor came from an auto (e38) but still identical at its core, so I had to move the flywheel from one block to another. Its been along time since I did that job and I just want to make sure of some things. Im 99% certain I put the flywheel on correctly. But just in case of the 1%, even if it was on wrong wouldnt the car still send spark and fuel to the engine? Wouldnt timing just be off?
The only issue I had with reassembly was proper orientation of the pressure plate. I couldnt find any information about if there was a certain way to put it on.
Iv checked the cam and crank sensors, swapped them into an e38 and they worked. Iv been able to use diagnostic software to activate the fuel pump.
I had my car hooked up to diagnostic software, things seemed weird when compared to when I had it hooked up to the e38. So any input from this community would be appreciated. I just want to rule as many things out as I possibly can before I go drop hundreds of dollars on a DME EWS kit.
