But > oil analysis (Blackstone) finds no coolant in my oil. So what gives? E36 oil pressure runs at a regulated 59 psi max; coolant pressure is released by the cap at 29 psi. So from a theoretical standpoint, with a head gasket failure in the "right" place, there can be over two atmospheres of pressure forcing oil into coolant. When you turn off the engine oil pressure drops to zero, while the coolant stays under pressure, so coolant might also then be drawn back into the oil. Practical experience suggests that head gasket failure can result in any combination of oil in coolant, coolant in oil, mystery coolant disappearance, etc. Neil Fort Wayne, IN - just down the street from Blackstone Labs 96 M3 - Bastard child 03 525iT - Sterling Grey Metallic 05 Mini - Cooper S with LSD ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 May 2007 07:16:41 -0700 From: John Bolhuis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: <misc> oil in coolant, no coolant in oil Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Practical experience suggests that head gasket failure can result in > any combination of oil in coolant, coolant in oil, mystery coolant > disappearance, etc. Or to put it another way, "You got peanut butter in my chocolate" is not necessarily always followed by "You got chocolate in my peanut butter." :) hmm, I'm hungry now for some reason. -JB ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 May 2007 10:59:00 -0700 From: bbarry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: <misc> oil in coolant, no coolant in oil Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Bars Leaks: 'Jack was suffering the mystery coolant leak, then medium cool running probs and dense smelly steam out the tailpipe when restarting after a few minutes sitting after the engine was fully warm, and what looked like oil residues in the coolant. Someone on the list suggested Bars Leaks. I used the head gasket sealer and sure enough, the mystery leaks and smells went away. Its been a few thousand miles and the coolant problems have not returned. Give the coolant a good flushing out so its only water in the system before pouring in the bottle. Pour it in the upper radiator hose. The difference in cost between a head gasket job and a bottle of this not so snake oil makes it worth a try first. hth, Barry Neil Maller wrote: > on 5/23/07 12:20 AM, "Kevin Jay (Mr.Fabulous)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: > > Practical experience suggests that head gasket failure can result in any > combination of oil in coolant, coolant in oil, mystery coolant > disappearance, etc. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 May 2007 10:20:26 -0700 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Subject: <misc> oil in coolant, no coolant in oil Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Kevin, Did you perhaps change coolant formulations from the std glycol type to the organic acid (OAT) type? The sludge may be residue from their interaction. Otherwise maybe it's just a consequence of a long change interval. What did the analysis suggest as to composition? -Kevin ---------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail communication is confidential and is intended only for the individual(s) or entity named above and others who have been specifically authorized to receive it.

It was indeed the magnet slippage. I just pried it back with an screwdriver. It was easy to tell where it was supposed to be by looking at the motor shaft. I also Inspected the passenger side, fixed the glove box, glued the door panels back together with E6000. My panels are from 95 and have the long plastic back panels and the insert on the front. I removed the torx bits and the insert completely and weighed the inserts down with patio blocks whilst it all hardened. Looks pretty good and should last much longer than that crappy .001" worth of spray adhesive the factory used on the panels. Still working on the map light And sunroof panel and have to fix the switch panel. I have it epoxied. The rf caliper boot for out causing the piston to rust, I fixed that a few weeks ago. I am replacing my sons RTABs shortly. Good times... I start a new job next week so I have to unsubscribe for a while. I'll be back hopefully.
