Awesome work! That's one hell of a background for the engine pics. Focused more on them than the build lol.

JP, engine build looks really, really nice. I will look forward to the concours photos in the near future!Originally Posted by Hermes
High temp paint
Also, I think that you may have some additional weight savings on the pulley by reducing the added fur on the right side... 😀

hahahaha... thanks! Yeah, the M88 and Katy Perry make good friends for my engine.
lol... I have no experience with M5x internals. I have disassembled a M54B30, but I didn't pay that much attention; I was just trying to get the crank.
Thanks Brett! I doubt I will be having any concours photos photos soon, I still need a new paint job.
I did clean up the pulley a little bit. I needed to polish the front seal surface so I got the fur off at that point

few more last things... head actually on/timing set. Need to pull a tii distributor out of the pile and check it out/install. Will physically install the engine tomorrow and deal with fine tuning later.
you might notice that my stock downpipe/cat has been removed, headers sitting out for test fitting
btw, I finally mounted my bumper correctly (nyloc ftw)
ready for the new engine
just hanging out with my shark nosed friend

Pulled the stock speedo cable/O2 light reset box, replaced with an equal length 2002 cable
maybe I'll repaint this in a few years
Cut out the battery tray so I can use a 325i airbox
Flywheel/clutch/pressure plate installed
In
Test fit the headers, will need some modifications
Lots of room without AC or the low mount alternator
Radiator & shroud on. NOS early E21 small fan blade
new coolant pipe
Installed the rest of the coolant hoses and the thermostat. I think I might change the alternator to the 80A 318i version from the 90A 325i version I currently have. I don't really need the extra 10 amps as the stock E21 was something stupid like 65A, but because the 90A is a hard mount vs the 80A has bushings and is the correct one for an E30 M10.
