Hi all, must apologise for my lack of posts on here, my friend Gunni (GSTuning) referred me onto here as a lot of people are doing cool stuff to their e30s, and in the UK we mostly have e30zone which is 95% into detailing and full BMW toolkits.
Anyway, I have no practical knowledge/experience of this, but apparently, you can fit an m50/2 or s50/2 crank into an m20 block, using various piston/rod combos, and get a much bigger capacity m20 engine. The downfall is, however, that the nose of the crank where the front oil seal sits is too short on the m/s50 items, leaving oil to gush out of the front of the engine.
I have access to a professional machine shop (and the guys who work there) so I got a few crank spacers made up to seal the crank/oil etc, for Gunni. He has used a couple in his engines but I still have 5 extra that I had made in the first batch.
These are precision ground items, with a keyway in for the pin on the crank, and precise tolerances to slide over the crank and inside the oil seal. Due to the tolerances and need for grinding and the keyway etc the price rose a lot. Since I no longer own an e30, and all my friends are tame, I have no use for these anymore and would just like to get my money back. Obviously, more can be made if people want them.
Here are some pictures,
These are in the UK, and the price is 45GBP each. Postage works out, to the USA, to be around 5GBP according to the Royal Mail website and the price of packaging.
Please excuse the pictures, the items are brand new and have been kept in a plastic bag, oiled up, for a few months, so have a few bits of handling crap on them. They would be posted after cleaning and a light oiling to ensure they do not get corroded in transit.
Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I'll ask Gunni if he can post his experiences with these and to clarify where they fit and how they are used. Cheers.
PS - I accept paypal, I can post up my address if there's interest.
Cheers,
Mike
