  1. Did you end solving this problem? If so, I am curious to how did you fix it... Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  2. Thanks for replying. I tried another wiper motor with the same results...always on. Maybe that one also has a bad parking mechanism. I will open up the spare one to see if something looks off and then try to test it. Thanks again for replying and I will let you know how it goes. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  3. Good one. I have not checked the switch. It works between slow and fast but did not check for loose wires. The turn stalk is on the right side. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  4. I removed the head and the dizzy and pulled the engine. I am lazy and wanted to keep the tranny and sub frame in place. I was able to install it solo as well. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  5. Hello fellow enthusiasts, I need your help. I have pulled out enough hair on this problem and need to try something else. In short, my wiper motor will not shut off. I have tried wiper multiple motors, multiple relays and multiple wiper control arms. Car is a 1973. The only thing left I can think of is the ignition switch is faulty somehow. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thx! Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  6. Thanks for the clarification. Since all I need to do is the rings, I figure keeping the tranny (clutch is good) in place would be easier, and just yank the engine. Then I started to think (that could be the problem) since I was going to remove the head anyway to take the block to a machine shop to get honed... I figure do all that while the engine is in in the car to lighten the load once I am ready to pull it. Plus that would free up room in the engine bay for more flexibility when removing. Then keep it light when attaching it back to the tranny and add all the other gear once the block is in place. Does that make sense or am I missing something?
  7. Just so I understand, pull the engine up and out, but lower the transmission out?
  8. Just so I understand, disconnect the drive shaft, reverse connection and gears, then remove the tranny by lowering it out? After that is done, pull the engine?
  9. Hello Everyone, I have a 1973 BMW 2002 that just had the head rebuilt. I think the added compression from the new valves and machined head was too much for the old rings. Now she is blowing smoke at idle and I removed the oil fill cap to confirm that there is a fair bit of air coming out of that opening when she is idling. I figure now it is time to do the rings. Since I just took the head off not that long ago, all those steps are fresh in my mind. My question is, is there any problem or concerns with this engine removal strategy: 1. Remove the Rad 2. Remove the head. 3. Remove the hood. 4. Pull the block with the transmission in place? 5. New rings and and bearings and then reverse the steps above in a logical order. Thanks for any help, guidance and feedback.
