TO TELL THE TRUTH

What are you trying to accomplish here? Are you building a race engine? From what I have read and discussed with people who do cylinder head porting, 90% of power improvement is within one inch of the valve.

I have not seen dyno numbers for simple port matching for an M10 engine, perhaps someone else has insight here. While intake port matching is good for flow, you do not want to port match the exhaust ports. The header should be slightly larger than the port, as the step change inhibits exhaust reversion.

Before you go off porting things read this excellent book:

You can Google David Vizard, he has a number of excellent articles on the web.

Here's another good book:

the 2002 intake is pretty fantastic for 1964.

Checking your port matching's never a bad idea,

but it MIGHT make you a horsepower at 4800.

Until you're into real numbers (150+) the head's not

the weak point of the 2002 engine.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
