I did not. I know Carl has some as I saw it the other day but I've never used it before. You have to remember that tolerances on the M10 are not nearly as tight as the S52 so I didn't see the need. Had I been building a 2.2 I would have definitely used itQuote:

Look at the rod cap. You can tell they ground it a little bit where I marked with green

Is that a typical practice...to machine the rod caps? Seems like it'll be out of round if you do that.Quote:

Yes. It doesn't matter much but since we're going for maximum tolerances it has to be perfect. Ben builds race engines and is anal so we just do what he wants.Quote:

For example, Ben built this two weeks ago for my buddy Mark while he was out here to put my head together:

That is running 13:1 with a 316 cam so tolerances are important. This is why he needed a new engine

I used plastiguage when we built my motor. Works fine for 24v builds..Quote:

So what do you use to install them?

Medium FH ;)
(You can see it in the background)
Found a late NK single belt crank pulley (cast). I need to dig some more because we think an early one is around here somewhere (stamped)

Edit: my 30# injectors arrived
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...D4C7B3BCBC.jpg

In case you're interested in numbers
Stock E21 pulley = 1.9lbs
Cast NK = 1.7lbs
Stamped NK = 1.1lbs
I need to dig some more but I might have found a stamped one
NK= Neue Klasse?Quote:

Next up is alternator bracket and starter. Then comes head, intake, and wiring.
Awesome work! That's one hell of a background for the engine pics. Focused more on them than the build lol.
Great work, come assemble my S52 next, lol.
JP, engine build looks really, really nice. I will look forward to the concours photos in the near future!Quote:

hahahaha... thanks! Yeah, the M88 and Katy Perry make good friends for my engine.Quote:

you might notice that my stock downpipe/cat has been removed, headers sitting out for test fitting

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

Test fit the headers, will need some modifications

Lots of room without AC or the low mount alternator
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...15787E0B92.jpg
Radiator & shroud on. NOS early E21 small fan blade
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...F7DEA2C492.jpg
new coolant pipe
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...7AAB92007E.jpg
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.

Awesome stuff JP .
