JettaCarl 0 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 i think i have sorted the strange misfire and it doesnt seem to hold back as much when warm but still lacking vr power,its an early dizzy obd1 2.8iv rebuilt moast the engine includint, skimming the head, reseating valves, complete head rebuild, new piston rings and so on, baby'd it for over 1000k to run her in a little and then took it through the revs gradualy,the other day i decided right its time to see what she's got so i raced my friend in a standard engined e30 325 touring and i lost,surely something is wrong there, or is it just e30 325's are faster than i thoughtbut even my friend who had a vr said his felt quicker and it was dying,any idea's whats up?

VIW28 29 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Just check the intermediate shaft sproket is also lined up. Pointer should point straight up as in 12 o'clock. Link to post Share on other sites
