Subject: Cylinder head CC's volumes, pistons, block and CR

Edited to fig some numbers...
Edited to add this info: piston pin to deck height is not given, because only the dome is referenced as a measure to visualy identify the pistons.

I am gathering info on the M10 variants.
Here is the CC volume of each heads.

121/121ti head: 58cc, 1972 and earlier

e12 head: 61cc, 1973 to 1975

e21 2.0 head: 60cc, 2002 and 320i, 1976 to 1979

1.8i head: 63cc, 320i and 318i 1980 to 1984

Piston DATA:

Pistons used for 121/121ti head: named "bathtub"
flat tops: 8,5:1
1,5mm dome: 9:1
5,2mm dome (but with different deck height) 9,3:1 for Ti
4.4mm dome:(but with different deck height) 10:1, early euro tii mostly with plastic intake runners


Pistons used for e12 head: named "piano top" or "grand piano top"
3 kind of pianos:
1.5-2mm dome, 8,3:1cr, us spec, 72-74
4,5mm dome, 9:1cr (us Tii),
6,8mm dome, 9.5:1 cr (euro Tii)
flat tops on e12 head: 8,1:1, us spec 75 49 states
turbo: 6,9:1, 3,7mm dish

Pistons for e21 2.0 head:
flat tops: 8,3:1, used on 76 us spec 49 states
domed: 9,3:1, euro only, e21 only

pistons for 1.8 head: no data yet

all pictures are from my personnal piston collection. missing: euro tii with 9,5:1

Subject: Re: Cylinder head combustion chamber volumes, pistons and CR

From my research, the US 1.8 came with either 8.8:1 or 9.4:1 domes, depending on the year. Here is a pic of a 9.4:1 domed piston (stolen from http://www.kengineering.info/cylinder%20head.html)



As I've had it described, the difference is the dome size. Not sure on the Euro engines though.

Oh, and finally some combustion chamber info... you are now officially my hero

I have had my 318i head cc'd, after it was skimmed, at 58.5cc.

this looks like it is for the e21 2.0 head.
i have a bunch of 1.8 pistons, i will update my list...

Here is a 1.8 piston from a e21 1.8, 80-83 320-320i.

NOTE: this piston dont work on a 2002 crank/rod because the pin to deck distance is longer.

Here is some pictures of some of my block into my collection.

Pictured:
1-e21 2.0 block
2-e21 1.8 block
3-74-76 block with screwed on plug behind the timing cover
4-Tii block, notice the oil return plug next to the oil filter boss
5-70-73 block, with aluminium plug behind the front cover
6-early block with screwed on oil pick-up tube, i believe pre 70

(sequence number not real)

The major difference in the webing is only external and apply only to the later 1.8 block. All others seems to have the exact same webbing/reinforcements, outside and inside.
Once flipped, they are all the same at first sight.

The boss for the oil filter seems to change without any consistency, some has depp passages while some others seems to be "flush".

If any of the info in this is wrong, please provide me the fact and i will be glad to modify it
NOTE, all years are from the VIN that is onto the block, averaged within 10 different block, so it is real.

in a more clever way...
Major differences circled in red.
Note: early block has no provision for the water passage that goes to the water choke, while the Tii one has a plug. All others has a nipple.

oil filter boss differences. No idea why/when it swtiches from one to one other.

internal comparo
note: only difference from under is the absence of drilled/taped holes for the transmission braket. Absent on all E21 block, 2.0 or 1.8

Internal webing/reinforcements are exactly the same all over inside.

One major difference is the #3 bearing cap, all e21 block dont have the braket to support the longer pick-up tube of the oil pump.

try using the mahle catalogue

http://www.motorenteile.mahle.com/eLIZA/app/queryEngine

after doing the search on "Manufacturer : BMW / Designation : M10 "
a list shows up . (2 pages , shows detailed info about the engine , cyl diameter Ø , Engine displacement , and output ) .. click on the icons for more information , first (from left) , gives you the same info shown + Compression ratio , the middle shows you the vehicles , and the right one shows you the product details .. click on the product details and you access the related info , (you can find the dome height , piston height , a sketch for it and related info)

good for checking the info and complete the missing about Pistons ;)

Thank you sir for your effort putting all that together ;)

(maybe we can make some reference guide with putting some part numbers for the pistons and such? )

Very nice find, i looked at it all. They dont list engines specific to usa, as an example, they dont list the 2002 with e12 head and flat tops.
All 2002 engines are listed as 100hp.
2002 ti 120 and Tii 130, as usual.
All tii are listed to have 10:1, while in usa everyone knows they were 9.5:1 with aluminium intake and 10:1 only for the plastic intake ones, which are euro sourced (round tailligts Tii to say the least).

In resumee, the info pertinent to the 2002 only from the link above:

2002 usa 72-74, 8.5:1 100hp (missing info/years, not aware of any 8.5:1, but rather 8,1 or 8,3 or 9 or 9,5)
2002 Ti, 9,3:1 120hp (correct info)
2002 Tii, 70-75, 10:1, 130hp (missing info)

at least you can use their piston deck sketches and measurements ;)




example :
KH 42,5
ÜH 4,4
GL 84,9

KH : Kompressionshoehe = compression height
UH : Uberhoehung = dome height
GL : Gesamtlaenge = total height


here the english link :)

thanks, but these measurements are already into the faq.
plz try to not load that page with "no info" reply.
what we miss is hp for all m10 variant for 2002 2L.

I found out the missing info.

Early engines were named "121", not M10 (???).

They are still, all rated at 100hp.

Crank shaft comparo.

top: 2002
bottom: e21 320i 1.8

the difference is obvious, and the weight difference is also significant.

The elusive oil pump braket that holds the end of the oil pick up tube,
note how sturdy it is: there is a reason, to minimise stress on the pump and tame all vibrations.

It is totaly transportable from a 2002 engine to a e21 engine.
