<e-30> i cam in eta

[vincent.a.leo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Brian asked:

<<<Am going to be upgrading my cam in my 86 325es since I need a new head
gasket.  Was wondering what would be the best option for my car.  Will the
car still pass emissions with a new cam?  Are there any other economical
upgrades I should consider while I am in there?>>>

Well...

I have the 325i cam and springs upgrade (not to mention many UUC 's the
spousal unit has yet to find) in my e-30 325 eta (1987) and have also
driven an eta with the 323i cam in it.  The 325i cam was a better set- up
IMHO.  I also have switched to a 3.45 diff.  Again, IMHO this is a better
set-up than switching to the 3.25 diff with the new cam.  I thought people
were using the 323i cam before the 325i came onto the market in the States.
But then again, I could be wrong.

Check the Digest archives regarding this subject and Pete McHenry's
articles in either old Roundels or the reprints in the BMW Enthusiasts
Companion

As always, YMMV.
