Still a nice budget idea. You can pick up the head/block for $500 all day long, and the internals are probably not far off of that either. Add in some machine work, preventative maintenance and new bearings, and you're probably around $2500 which isn't bad. I'm not sure what s50/s52s are going for these days though.

I'm thinking of converting to Vanos as well. Did you notice any differences with toothed crank pulley? Can I use a non vanos pulley on vanos block?

Its still a pretty good deal if you are looking at refreshing your motor before doing a swap I guess, but only if you get a good deal for it all. But then again in the US s50/s52 still looks to be a better deal................................................... ...................sigpic
