///M part. I bought one from Eurasian for $35.94. In looking at the old one I took off, it appears that you could sacrifice some of the web and grab it with some big vise grips. I seriously doubt you would weaken it enough to matter. This piece appears to be seriously overengineered, considering that in 154K miles, and some scary timing chain rattle on cold startup, mine barely shows any wear where the chain would touch it.
You`re welcome to my old one for shipping cost if you totally trash it out.

Hi All,
i'm doing a headgasket job on my e30m3 and i somehow stipped the allen head srew holding the timingchain rail guide(one of the 2 bolts that holds this) what is the best way to remove this,any trick to the trade here? i've tried using a longnose vise grip but it's too weak to turn the allen srew-can't sqeeze a bigger one in there fearing damaging this expensive rail guide....any suggestions? thank you very much....rob
