Re: B14 valve adjustments

Yeah, the fine manual is always your friend. If the car is a high miler, you might need to set use a thinner feeler gauge than the recommended one to compensate for wear in the rocker arm.... or at least that is what I used to do to stop it clacking ^_^ What you mean? Instead of the regular adjustm...

Re: Ovlov 340GL 0.79€/L

Head gasket was replaced with all the other gaskets, head skimmed, water pump, thermostat, belt, oil and coolant, all fixed, but due to the blown head gasket, the 2 mid cylinders have a " spot ", it made so...

Ovlov 340GL 0.79€/L

My first one: http://imageshack.com/a/img594/8484/mwb7.jpg I've always been a drift/rwd whore, so i had to buy a rw...

Re: Front Seats..

Does not fit, rails are different and sit too high.
I'm welding the original 340 seat rail to the 440 seats in the next possible time.

My car has a similar or the same issue that this E36.
What is the most possible cause?
I'd like to change rotor arm, distribuitor cap, plugs and spark plugs. What should i look first? Also, my 1.4 is LPG, the plugs can be the same right?

thanks
