  1. My 1600 was rear-ended last weekend and I am now left with a 90% complete engine in my basement that doesn't have a home. I will try to find as many receipts as I can but for now I'll explain what I have: I used Lonnie Jensen in San Francisco for machine work. I brought in three heads for them to choose from (you can get the other two for free). They checked both block and head for cracks. The head was cleaned and the block is painted black. When they measured the cylinders they told me that they were already one size over so I had to get larger pistons or a new block. I contacted Racetep (JE piston distributor) and they recommended to go up one size with larger, forged pistons. The engine now has forged 91.5 mm pistons installed in the block. The block was bored, honed and planed by the shop. They mounted the pistons to the connecting rods with new pins etc. The crank was inspected and polished. There was no need to go down a size. I used new bearings and bolts for mounting the rod bearings and the crank bearings. I checked the clearance with plastigauge. The pistons were coated with red line assembly lube per JE recommendations (I know some prefer motor oil). The head was assembled by Lonnie Jensen. NEW HD springs, NEW standard valves, NEW Febi rockers, NEW rocker arms, USED Shrick 292 camshaft. Obviously all the stuff was done to the head. 3 angle valve job, new valve seals and guids etc. The oil pump is used but I replaced the housing (with the piston) and the inner rotor. New oil chain and oil sprocket. The timing chain is new, the timing tensioner is new. I found a NOS flywheel 228 mm diameter. It even has new teeth.You can't find those anymore so this is a one of a kind. All hardware is new since I didn't buy the engine complete (this was a pain). I ordered every single screw from BMW of South Atlanta. I used ARP bolt (torqued to 82 ft. lb). You might want to torque them to 90. I used an MLS head headgasket. New crank gaskets. all covers are mounted with Curil K2 gasket seal. The oil sump is not mounted onto the engine yet so feel free to check whatever you want before mounting. Also, the valve cover is not mounted yet. The valve cover is not beautiful as is. I was planning on refinishing that. I would say that this is overall a very good deal. I've only used good parts for everything and I have definitely spent the double of what I am asking. Machine shop $1300 Pistons and other parts from racetep $1200 block and head $500 crank $250 new flywheel $200 all other parts (water pump, timing chain, head parts, oil pump parts, gauges, seals, head studs, hardware etc etc) $$$ Please email me if there's an interest. The engine is on an engine stand and you can take the stand with the engine mounted on it. No shipping or delivery. I'll add the 4 into 1 exhaust as well. It's stamped with 320l Thanks Jonas

  9. I finally located why my car is making an annoying vibrating sound when it's idling. It turned out to be the throttle rod hitting the firewall. The bushing looks like it needs to be replaced. Does anyone here have any ideas of where to find any of these bushing assemblies? If there are any other alternative parts that are useful in its place I am listening too. Thanks

    M10 Block

    Hi, I am rebuilding my engine and realized the block I bought was already too much oversize for my pistons. Therefor I need a new block. I need an m10 block that is in good shape. Straight, no cracks etc that hasn't been bored to oversize. I am in San Francisco so somewhere in bay area would be great. Thanks Jonas Location: San Francisco<br />
  19. Hi, I am need of a upper timing case cover for my M10 build (the piece that is machined together with the head). It's the last piece I need before I bring the short block and the head to the machine shop. I need a cover that is 129 mm from top to bottom to be able to resurface it together with the head. If you have one you can send me please specify height and how much you want for it. I live in San Francisco but if you could send it, that would work too. Thanks! Jonas Location: San Francisco
  20. Hi, I've had a little bid of bad luck (or haven't been carful enough) when purchasing parts for my m10 rebuild. I managed to get hold of two different heads that both have been machined too much (127mm)... I therefor now is in serious need of a new head! I intend to rebuild it so as long as the core is in great condition. (Please measure the thickness if if has been machined)... I can't afford to spend too much but if you're willing to sell me one for 100-150 I will buy it right away! thank you! Jonas Location: San Francisco
  21. Hi, I am interested in the roof rack. Is it still available?
