Hello guys!
So,
I have a 1602, and instaled in there a 1.6L M10 from an e21 and after being fully assembly and fully running, i discovered a strong vibration in the steering wheel and in the car in general. The oil sump was different than the original engine and was hitting the under carriage.
I removed the e21 oil pan, and saw that they were a bit different (left original 02, right e21).
The e21 one was much deeper, and the e21 oil pump hitted the bottom of the 02 oil pan. So, i changed the pickup part of the pump, from the old engine the new.
Now they fit, but im concern if im going to have any problems with oil pressure, or something related. Also, the 02 (first engine picture) engine had a bar to the crankshaft support, which i didnt put, otherwise, i have to change crankshaft supports etc etc... Could this be critical also??
would i be better with an e21 hammered down oil pan and original oil pickup oil part(dont know the correct name)
Let me hear your opinions,
Best regards!!
