Chris,
I was able to grind off about 1/8" from the big nut that is attached to the clutch. Compare the depth of the nut with the length of the threaded section on the water pump and you'll see you have some extra depth. I sprayed with water to keep the nut from getting too hot while I ground it down. (with the Uro clutch and Graf water pump)
Can't catch a break. I have a feeling my next wasserpumpen purchase will be in a BMW box but it will probably still fail as nothing is made as well anymore.
Chris, great work and I know how meticulous you are.
The engine will look spectacular. My chore tomorrow and Friday will be 2 days of consulting to earn the extra cash to pay Mario at VSR to do engine work for me!
Anyone want to by the engine I am removing? m30b34, weber 32/36, jet coated ported exhaust manifold?
Installed pilot bearing, clutch, pressure plate and bell housing. Not much fun as a one person job. Bell housing bolts tough to get to. Tranny pic shows removable gear to drive the speedo.
