    Hello , will this Rod Bearing set fit on 1971 BMW 2002 block . If so,  I may consider  buying the set. 

     

    Thanks

    Yes. They will fit any M10 engine (as in all 2002s) so long as you have standard size bearing journals.

  2. Re-awakening this ancient thread...

     

    I sought out this thread looking for the best way to hold the pinion still while tightening the bolt and crushing the crush sleeve. As it turns out, one of the very common tools used to remove BMW radiator fans ended up being perfect for the job, and I recommend it to others. The holes are spaced just right and it bolts right up. Just need to use pipe (or jack handles in my case) to increase leverage on the tool and on the breaker bar used to tighten the nut.

    1) Rather than hope someone who has a variety of shims comes to your thread, try to hunt them down.  I know a number of vintage 2002 race outfits carry a variety of 4-bolt side cover shims.  Try calling some of them with your desired thicknesses converted to inches (easier for them to grab their caliper and confirm that way).

     

    Thank you. Do you have contact info for any of these places? Thanks ahead!

  4. I'm rebuilding an open diff for my '72 2002 and have run into an issue. One of the side gears has a bit too much play and needs to be shimmed differently. The shims needed are #07 here:

    I might also need #06 as well, although the two diffs I have only appear to have two shims per side gear... no "diaphragm spring" (unless #06 looks just like a shim?)

     

    Trouble is, these are NLA from BMW and I'm not sure how to proceed. Does anyone have these lying about? I'd like to get a hold of all the ones that are thicker than 1.3mm. Thanks!

  5. My wife's '72 2002 now wears E30 alloys, so I have a set of four steel wheels with tires available, as well as hubcaps.

    The wheels are all straight, but could be cleaned and painted if you want them to be pretty. The tires don't all match, but they have quite a bit of tread left. $60 for the set.

    I also have a set of original hubcaps. They have some dings and scratches, but look pretty good on a driver. $80 for the set of four.

    They are located in Sacramento, CA. Let me know if interested.
