    Heres a pair of manuals on Ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-1968-1969-1970-1971-1972-1973-1974-BMW-1602-1802-2002-Service-Repair-Manual/372966996128?hash=item56d690b8a0:g:1KUAAOSw~v1aHt5V

    It's the BMW factory shop manuals, You gotta shop around cause there 50 years old. The orange one is just a owners manual

    It's easier to tension if top piece of front cover is off but you should be able to get screwdriver down there to push on tensioner. If your going to dive into total rebuild I highly recommend getting the 2 blue workshop manuals for these cars, Everything you need is in there, I wouldn't do it without them

    There has to be oil in the trough where piston hits tensioner, After putting spring and piston and cap back on push the tensioner to pump piston back and forth til it gets stiff or you quit seeing bubbles in the oil sitting in the trough, Once motor is started it usually finishes tensioning. It pays to have blue shop manual for these cars, Procedure is in there

    I wouldn't use them, Why risk it for a few $$

    If your talking under the back seat for battery, I used an AGM Miata battery under seat, You can lay down battery if you have too but I left mine upright and it fits

    I don't think I'd want it for $4500
  8. rcf925
    Says $14,500 in the add

    Shouldn't hit subframe, It has the upwards bend in it

    Pretty sure it's a 2 core, The core is 2" wide

    In My opinion if you haven't upped compression, Ported head, Bigger cam theres probably no reason to go with dual carb set up, But if you do all the upgrading it's well worth it, After getting set up you shouldn't have to fiddle with carbs

    I bought the same ones off Ebay, Had to file a couple bolt holes out to fit, Other than that there polished stainless with a thick flange and works fine and the price was good

    Pretty easy to build one, Home Depot, 4x4's, 2x6's and 4 large wheels, That's what mine sat on til I got it back on the road

    I live in a rural area, I've pegged my speedo a few times

    I would check all Bolts both ends of driveshaft and center bearing mount

    I've converted a few motors from carbs to injection. I usually go to junk yard and try to pull injection parts from similar motors, Like I did 87 jeep 4.2 motor by grabbing complete injection off newer 4.0 jeep motor with the head and all wiring harness, computer etc. One i just did about a year ago was a 69 dodge powerwagon with a 318, I went to junkyard and took throttle body injection off 87 ramcharger including harness, computer etc. It's a lot of work cutting all wires out of harness you don't need and just keeping the essentials. In both cases motors ran great when I was done but it ain't for the faint of heart, On the Jeep there was a lot of internet knowledge, On the Powerwagon zero help anywhere to be found. I've thought about doing same to My 68 02 but just want to find simplest way to do it, Thinking of some 80's throttle body of 4 cylinder 2 liter that's OBD1 which makes it less complicated

    How come fuel is boiling on your cars with a cross flow head, Exhaust is on opposite side, When I check my carbs after driving there cool to the touch

    Being that motor has a lot of unknowns, I would pull the block and tear it all down, But that's just me, I wouldn't want to do head and put back together and find out bottom end is no good. I had pretty much same situation with my motor, Had sat for 20 years and supposedly rebuilt. When I decided to check bottom end before putting together I found all kinds of problems, Plugged oil passage, Wrong size main bearings, If I hadn't checked it would have been a bad situation

    In CA I mailed in money for tags after DMV website wouldn't work for registration. I got my tags 3 months after expiration date, It took 4 months

    It's a tight fit, Angled front of bar should face down

    Amsoil Makes a synthetic with Zinc, That's probably what I'm gunna run after I hit The 2500 mile mark

    I'd highly recommend Hal Boyles TI replica linkage, I tried a couple cable linkages with poor results, His mechanical linkage works perfect

    They just did mine at the Santa Fe Springs location, Turn around was 5 days, But it came to me clocked in the wrong position, Master would have been at 45 degree angle, I returned and got it back in 1 day with an apology and discount on any further work. It's mounted and I now have my power brakes back. Been driving almost a year without booster hooked up

    No AC, Restomod, No PWM Controller as I hardly ever use fan, Just have fused relay with on-off switch

    Replacement for engine driven fan with aluminum radiator, Get a few extra HP without mechanical fan
