They have one piston for the bore size and they have the crank.  I will bring them the head to clean and surface and I guess the flywheel.  What should I have them do to the flywheel?  I think they are balancing the crank,  but will check on that.  This was going to be a budget build,  nothing huge,  but seems to be building up to something bigger...

 

Thanks. 

 

Have them balance whole rotating assembly including flywheel, I did that on my recent build and motor is smooth as silk, While there in there it is not a lot more money to do it

"Whole rotating Assembly"  meaning the Crank and the flywheel in the block OR the Crank, Pistons, arms, and flywheel in the block?  That might be hard,  because I am building the engine once it has been machined.  I would have to bring it back them.

 

Thanks!

When I built my motor, they balanced all rod / piston combinations, then spin balanced all the reciprocating parts- crank, rods, pistons, flywheel.  It's usually a couple hundred dollars.  Worth every penny.  And I believe they checked each piston diameter to make sure each hole in the block matched / worked...

Pictures!  Did you get the Recaros from the guy in Thailand?  How was the process?

Yes, I did. He was very professional. Invoice,tracking numbers,insured them.  A couple other members have used him also with good luck.  I have seen his work before on other cars and they all looked good. It is a Sloooow process nine weeks on a ship seems like forever.   I will try and get some pics, I'm supposed to be closing my pool not goofing on the interweb. He is going to quit making them soon so if your interested better do it now.  He's  "recaroforsale"  on facebook.

Engine rebuild and Engine compartment complete.  Rick and crew at North Bay Bavarian working on the fine tuning..  Really pleased with their wiring work.  Car looks really streamline considering how much wiring goes into an EFI conversion

    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
