Deck Block/Clean Block repaint
Deck Head/wash Head
Torque Plate Hone to 86.5mm - This one was a huge learning experience for me. The engine builder explained that when the S and M blocks are TQ plated with studs some of the cylinder walls bulge a couple of thousandths out and thus impact ring sealing and longevity.
Spin polish check Crank and check for Tolerances.
Purchase JE 9:1 Pistons 86.5mm
Purchase K1 Rods- recommended as superior over the Eagle (his word not mine)
Pricing was actually pretty good on the Rods and pistons.
Purchase new flywheel, clutch, pressure plate - Grip Force Stage 3 (know a few people who have had good experiences with the Grip Force Stuff)
Take whole rotating assembly back to engine shop to have it rebalanced as many many grams will be coming off of the assembly.
Then reassemble and spin to 7400rpm1989 332IS -S-Fiddy Four-Some weight removed.
5 lug E36 M3 Brakes Coilovers and LTW's and No ABS.

I have VDO gauges but they are just simple, wanting something more with like a warning light that flashes or something like that for boost/ oil pressure and so on.1989 332IS -S-Fiddy Four-Some weight removed.

So this is an old pic, but this is where mine is(have my AFR there now as well) and I'm not sure if I like it anymore. But having it in the vent makes it so you don't have the vents anymore and I don't want that. Leaning more to the A-Pilar but eahhh- S50 Swapped E30 1/1 Mineral White -@vaughnbannister on IG
