    Parting out '85 Euro e23- 10:1 HC motor

    Decided to part out the euro car, (CARB tag and currently registered in CA- Passed smog and have last copy of cert) the motor decided to go south on me- Motor seized- but turns by had in opposite direction, guessing the valve train bit the dust and 1 or more valves are bent or??? It had issues with the valve train when I got it, eccentrics were toast on some of the rockers and cam was worn also, many miles of neglect. I was going to drive it till I got the '86 up and running but it don't don't drive no more... Would consider selling it whole locally, I'm pretty sure the damage is just in the top end, so a head/gasket and some valve work is definitely needed.

    SOME OF THE EURO PARTS ARE NOT FOR SALE-

    Car is complete and full euro- M30B34 High Compression motor, AT, USA lights, 10:1 motor was running on an 059 ECU with single wire 02 sensor, cloth interior, 200k miles on motor and chassis- very straight car with only 1 small dent in front drivers fender a tiny spot of rust on rear 1/4 near bottom of windshield- a few small dings but it shows well, otherwise rust free, interior a little tired, working A/C, fresh radiator, new- fan clutch B35 fan, some rubber parts under hood...

    Prefer to only ship small stuff, larger parts are pick up locally only- images later today.

    WHATS NOT FOR SALE-
    Euro bumpers F/R with trim
    Rear headrests
    Seat frames (front)
    Steering box
    AFM- ICV- misc rubber I replaced under hood
    Tail lights

    Everything else available- HIGH interest in selling it as it is complete locally, you'd get a clean CARB'd euro car to play around with and build.

    Sounds like a good time to slap a B35 head on that 10:1 bottom end with a 1.3 conversion...

    Agree Jay, but it's not gonna be me... Gotta get a handle on this obsession I've got- Going to focus on just the two now, I'm driving the 733i to work out all the bugs, then get the '86 runnung and IF I look at another it'll be a turbo car and a clean example, low mile cream puff still has the new car smell...

    I am thinking about pulling my motor this weekend. Ran great before I dropped the transmission out. I haven't attempted to start it since then. 160k. Let me know if you're interested.

    It doesn't, it has an aftermarket radio.
