E12 Head Going Together - Shrick Too!


Recommended Posts

I am finally putting the pcs. together. After chasing all of the threads and schotch britting the cam journals with # 000 I installed the all new shafts -  IE Rockers -and washers -- Those are Eibach springs from VAC . Still have the locks to put on and adjust but it's starting to come together,I used Lucas Assembley lube.Washed everything one final time with Laquer Thinner and blew it off .The single most expensive cam I have ever bought to include a Comp cams K kit that included chain-sprokets- valve springs-lifters and retainers. Went in a 64 Fairline 500 Baby Bolt I built 10 years ago. Lets see if I can share some pictures.

Looks good. Which Schrick is that? I am finishing up a build with a Schrick 316, been meaning to post some photos. I've done a lot of work measuring the cam profile (degree wheel, dial gauge and checking springs) and valve to piston clearance (dial gauge as well as clay method). Even though I bought an adjustable timing gear it turns out I really need to install the cam straight up, the V-P clearance is just too close to advance or retard the cam even if I wanted to. V-P is tight due to [a] high domes, +1mm valves, [c] high lift cam, and [d] narrow LSA (Schrick 316 LSA is about 100°). I'll post my measurements when I get a chance. I also have a new engine with a Schrick 336, but likely won't install that in my other car until Fall.

Fred - looks like I need to meet you in person.  My 72tii 121 head (reworked by Korman) still awaits my installation of the Schrick 292 cam and springs.

 

I have a head "cc" kit left over from my air cooled VW engine build but no burette for measuring volume (I have a plastic syringe).

Jim--happy to have you swing by and use my buret sometime. Nice clean head you've got there. The "springs" look a little weak, though..... :)

Thanks Guys - That is a 282 cam and a new non adjustable cam gear.I hope I am as lucky degreeing itas you were.The CP pistons were made to the 292 valve lift specs. I changed my mind and went down a tic on the cam.There is so much out there on the properties of these cams. I don't plan on hanging out at the highend rev wise and was told the low end grunt was more noticable in the 282 so thats why.Anyway I had the 292 picked when I called Carrillo with my order.So I hope I actually have more than a safe margin for the valves .Jeremy at Ireland said he could give me some help picking the Cometic gasket thickness after we check the clearance with clay and bolting up the head with my old gasket.this is my first BMW build but not my first motor and I have not used the Cometic gaskets.Needless to say I am pumped. I have the Stahl header as well , 45dco'es and magnaflow pipes with a 24" round tube style flow thru stainless muffler .It should run real nice.I hope

    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
