I finished the head work. Got a new head gadket kit for it. I put the head on and went to align the cams with the crank. When I tried to put the crank at TDC the valves are touching a little. It could be from having the head decked.. So I have to take it a part and get a thicker headgasket I will post some pics later this week. __________________ HIOP TWINSCREW w/aftercooler water to air, 3.73 lsd,ported headdone,performence valve springs w/titanium retainersinstalled..nitrous kitinstalled fun fun X brace installed5th injector w/ piggyback controler, high flow cat | | | 06-12-2007, 07:03 AM | #33 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Westfield, IN Posts: 1,335 | hey jon good luck with the install!!! post some vids of the dyno test and a test drive!!! __________________ Greg M42 Club member 186 WTB: HELLROT RED CLUB SPORT 95 ti sold but staying in the family. | | | 06-12-2007, 06:58 PM | #34 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Seattle, WA Posts: 402 | Jon, When you get this closer to being done, I'd love to check it out at some point. Is PV doing the work, or are you doing it in your spare time? Even though it's been a year, looks pretty darned impressive. Good thread bump. __________________ 1997 332ti - Don't even ask. 2006 330i - ZPP/ZSP/ZCW/6sp/Nav/BT/H&R Sport 2011 E92 M3 | | | 06-13-2007, 04:09 AM | #35 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: boston Posts: 142 | Thicker headgasket is on the way. There are still some other things I have to deal with. I dont live where the car is, so I have to travel a little after work. The only thing I couldn't do on the car is remove and install the valve springs. I got access to many valve spring compressiors but none of them fit. so i had the machine shop do it. I have done the rest. I do all of the work in my spare time. I got a full time job, I make custom surfboards and do surfboard repairs part time. I try to fit atleast 4-8 hours a week for the car. I have been motivated to getting it done. jon __________________ HIOP TWINSCREW w/aftercooler water to air, 3.73 lsd,ported headdone,performence valve springs w/titanium retainersinstalled..nitrous kitinstalled fun fun X brace installed5th injector w/ piggyback controler, high flow cat | | | 06-13-2007, 06:24 AM | #36 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Auburn, WA Posts: 1,814 | let me know how much cost u the whole thing __________________ 5/96 318TI Sport BIG TURBO | | | 02-27-2008, 03:59 AM | #37 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: boston Posts: 142 | 1. Head installed(use APR stud kit) 2. Fuel lines 3. The oil adapter broke and I had to have another one be machined ($20). I got that done. 4. I have to cut the box the wiring harness is in near the intake. The intake for the S/C needs some more room. __________________ HIOP TWINSCREW w/aftercooler water to air, 3.73 lsd,ported headdone,performence valve springs w/titanium retainersinstalled..nitrous kitinstalled fun fun X brace installed5th injector w/ piggyback controler, high flow cat | | | 02-27-2008, 04:42 AM | #38 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | Sounds like a good project. Whenever you have a head refaced, ALWAYS take a measurement before and after to account for the amount of material removed. Sometimes the valves will clear, but if you don't compensate by using a thicker gasket or even multiple gaskets, your compression will go up significantly into the danger zone. It kills me when I see people have to go through this procedure twice. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | 02-27-2008, 05:14 AM | #39 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: boston Posts: 142 | Quote: Originally Posted by cooljess76 Sounds like a good project.

I couldnt get the intake of the S/C in beacause the is no room to angle it in(the manual has the engine out of the car). So i was preping the car to pull the motor out a little. Then all hell broke loose. I bought that 96 TI for $1600(I couldnt pass that up). Its a 1996 sport and its body is in better condition than mine. I was just going to use for parts. Now I am using it to put the other engine in. It has no EMISSION CONTROL-AIR PUMP. So the 97' S/C m44 (50000miles)goes in the 96. The 96 m44 is going to get rebuilt with?????? dunno yet thats it for now __________________ HIOP TWINSCREW w/aftercooler water to air, 3.73 lsd,ported headdone,performence valve springs w/titanium retainersinstalled..nitrous kitinstalled fun fun X brace installed5th injector w/ piggyback controler, high flow cat | | | 03-27-2008, 05:24 AM | #43 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: boston Posts: 142 | got some work done lately __________________ HIOP TWINSCREW w/aftercooler water to air, 3.73 lsd,ported headdone,performence valve springs w/titanium retainersinstalled..nitrous kitinstalled fun fun X brace installed5th injector w/ piggyback controler, high flow cat | | | 05-23-2008, 05:01 AM | #44 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: boston Posts: 142 | got some more done, I am thinking about putting the motor in this weekend.
