Upgrade to a Porsche and avoid the spelling and pronunciation kerfuffle! 😂 Let's face it, a 911 is every BMW guy's ultimate goal, haha.

Far out!

Countersink 'em. Looks / functions better.

18 Gauge?

I didn't know they had different spellings based on number of wheels. Whatever the case, F both the cars and the bikes. The cars look like beavers these days (the animal)....

Everything "woke" .... Turns to shyte!

EMT conduit also good for fabbing stuff out of.... comes in 10 foot sticks.

Here's a couple sources: https://www.mcmaster.com/products/standard-washers/lock-washers~/domed-tooth-lock-washers~~/ https://www.wclco.com/lock-washers/toothed-lock-washers/dished-type-lock-washers/

"JEEBUS" No. 2 ! Looking at all the heavy corrosion found in the tappet chambers on the previous page, this engine needs to be removed and placed on a stand and disassembled. Even if it turned over, it's in no shape to run with all that crap in there. There is likely corrosion that you can't see that is locking up the rotating assembly. The block needs to be thoroughly cleaned - baked, tanked, blasted, and inspected before proceeding. You might already have a boat anchor on your hands, but you won't know until you can have a shop inspect it. I'm trying to save you time from making more snausage here. Hopefully it's still good!

I, too, was considering the R-10 when first looking onto ODs back in 2010 or 2011....and decided to go with a T5 after similar advice from Dodgeb4ya and Ed (above), and others.

Yes, it will all come out intact; you'll need to angle the engine/tranny assembly up at a steel angle to clear the front sheet metal (dawg house) and cab, as you dangle/lift it out vertically. I did it this way the first time, second time I removed the dawg house and it was a lot easier.

I like it this way....consolidates information. And reminded me that I have not yet returned to finish removing my door lock since my last attempt 14 years ago as documented above.... humph

Over on the FxBO sites (FCBO for me), there are news and politics forums and they need no moderation. You're allowed to speak freely as long as it's in the appropriate threads. Yes, still some folks get worked up while others are all over the place and can't make a concise argument. We're slightly more locked down over here. As for the OP, not sure what "problems" leaving this site would solve. If Trudeau gets installed for another term as PM, I'm not going to sh*t the bed, because that's a Canuck problem. For the average little guy like myself, I followed General Flynn's advice and got involved with my local government. That's really the only way to make a difference. Besides that, have good relationships with your neighbors, be kind, and pick up litter. Oh, and stay off Fakebook 😄

Even if you still had the 4.10 rear it would be too high in first....

The 1953 shop manual lists the following gear ratios for the 3-speed transmission which came in the B4B, C, D, & DU. I'd guess that the transmission in the B1s would be the same or very close. 1st 3.3 2nd 1.78 3rd 1.0 Rev 4.3 When combined with the stock 4.10 rear end, you can see where we end up. Does the 833 have any tags or markings where you could look up what it is exactly?
