Yes thats what it is.

I remember because I payed $2600 for the car (Cali-76) and twice that on the engine.

I did end up shipping them connected together.

It came out really nice and so far I'm very pleased with the detail work and turnaround (around 4 months).

They gave me a rough estimate that if I use synthetic I could expect about 350k miles out of the engine and it could be rebuilt again in the future if nothing goes too awry.

As far as the cam I believe it uses the stock for daily drivability. But I'm sure you could upgrade to suit your needs.

Dirk,

Actually they will tell you they do not keep track of engine numbers reference rebuilds. That is up to the customer to supply associated paperwork. Been there, done that.

Did they use a paper or cork gasket on the pan? Any sealant visible and if so what color is it? Mine is leaking and I want to seal it up good. There are so many different opinions on this one so just curious what Korman does.[/quote

I will inspect it closer when it comes out of the crate, as far a sealant I am not sure what they use.

I find that disappointing. A restoration shop / tuner should document what they do and keep it on file ... forever. At any rate, thanks for the info, I have my engine and transmission in their shop while speak, and will make sure that everything gets properly documented.

    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
