Shifted at between 5-6000rpm and then went into second up to there again and then shifted into fourth since I have the beautiful early transmission problem. Anyways when I came to a rest at the stop sign I started blowing some wicked white smoke. I thought I magically blew my headgasket=( It was running fine but just smoking heavily. Took off slowly when the light turned green and it started sputtering for a few seconds and then went fine and the smoke was getting less and less. Then all of a sudden it stopped smoking and ran great. Got home, took it out of gear, and opened the hood. Nothing bad looking under there. Go to the exhaust, zero smoke and it doesn't smell sweet. Revved it a bunch to try to prompt it to smoke and not a damn thing....I am going to do a compression test today or tomorrow to make sure it isn't a headgasket. The PO told me he replaced the head about 20,000 miles before I got the car. I was thinking intake manifold gasket and that the coolant got sucked past it doing the hard pull. But also in this inspection I found a cracked hose off of my intake boot and want to replace it. I can't find a diagram to save my life to figure out the part number. I stole this picture and hope it is okay if I use it. Mine was fixed up by someone exactly the same as this picture states=/ __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii | | | 08-03-2012, 03:47 PM | #19 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 2,451 | It's likely this hose. #12. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...63&hg=13&fg=15 PN# 13411739650 Hope this helps!

I checked my oil to see it a quart high...coolant is where it always is. Maybe I overfilled it the other day when adding some since I leak? I put two quarts in. Going to drain some later and do the compression test. It is getting warm too after driving more rhan 30 miles Would excess oil cause this? Excess oil could have pushed through the valve seals yesterday and burned creating the smoking, but that would have been bluish __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii | | | 08-03-2012, 04:07 PM | #21 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 2,451 | Quote: Originally Posted by Earl I'll order that right away.

I'm just finishing up a motor swap after probable head/HG damage. I was lucky enough to find a donor M44 and ended up renewing all plastic, rubber and seals before I drop in back in. Do you think you overfilled the oil? Good luck! __________________ 1998 318ti Sport - "Cali" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, Cali top 1998 318ti Sport - "Max" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, S52 1997 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior 1995 318ti Active - "Blanca" Alpineweib III/Schwartz leather interior Other Current Bimmers: 2006 530i / 2000 2.3L Z3 / 1997 1.9L Z3 / 1999 540it 1997 318ti Sport - "Huera" - RIP 1995 318ti Active - RIP 1995 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Sold 1994 325i Sedan - "Jade" - Sold 1991 318ic - "Bert" - Sold 1985 635csi sold 1984 533i "Max" Sold 1984 318i sold BMWCCA #160411 SUPPORT 318ti.org!

My idle is better than ever now. Can't wait for the new hose. Difference in size between stock intake boot and the Samco boot: I'm looking for a spare intake manifold and valve cover to paint up and replace these ones with. Missing loads of plastic covers and rubber trim and such but those will come=) Some pictures from the other day when I was working on her. Ended up finding nothing wrong to create my smoke problem. Thinking some oil sucked through a valve seal or maybe I pulled coolant from the intake manifold gasket. I'm not sure but she is running fine and hasn't done it anymore. Edit: I need to hide my ballasts too. Does anyone know a good spot to hide them while making the light plugs still reach? __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii | | | 08-06-2012, 04:56 PM | #23 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | Quote: Originally Posted by Earl I need to hide my ballasts too.

It's a cloth filter inside of a carbon fiber canister. __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii | | | 08-07-2012, 09:30 AM | #27 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2011 Location: SoFla Posts: 482 | dude, very unique, i dig __________________ Eurotary 313ti-Rx coming soon.....soon is a relative term | | | 08-08-2012, 12:09 AM | #28 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: West Bend, Wisconsin Posts: 1,055 | Thank you Did this today Midnight Tuning 93 Octane chip. Sooooooooo worth it. Woke the m42 right up. Shipped almost immediately and arrived roughly a week later from Canada. Customer service was amazing. Top notch guy Barrie is. I haven't gotten to really dig yet but she runs a lot smoother and accelerates just that much quicker. Would have did a beat run but on a 6k hard 3rd gear pull she smoked for a second so I let off. Lol excess oil must be leaking past my valve seals on hard accel. Need to not do that until I get this sorted out. Lol __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii | | | 08-09-2012, 04:26 PM | #29 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: West Bend, Wisconsin Posts: 1,055 | I cannot wait for my steering wheel to finally arrive. It's been preordered since the end of June=D Also, would it be a good idea to move this all to the lounge? I noticed that's where most guys have their build threads. Edit: Also looking for a new shift boot and hand brake boot. Anyone here who makes them? I want something simple and clean, but elegant. Like diamond stitched suede? That'd look classy. __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii Last edited by Earl; 08-09-2012 at 08:26 PM. | | | 08-10-2012, 10:57 AM | #30 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: West Bend, Wisconsin Posts: 1,055 | __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
