 Got the head back a few days ago.
 
  
  
 
 It's all back together and all that's needed is bleeding of the coolant system. Need to check the head studs after a heat cycle then to the rollers.

 Looking good...I saw a Fram oil filter in your first post.
 
 Please get rid of it before it fails and kills your motor or explodes. Hands down the worst filter manf out there. Go with wix if they make one or mobile, mahle...just ditch the fram.

 6262 t3 journal bearing...did the journal for longevity of the turbo. I'm seeing a steady 10psi on the street.
 
 Yea the Fram was on there just to stop oil from leaking and to prim the engine. I'm running a Mobil 1 and always will.Looking good...I saw a Fram oil filter in your first post.

 dude, it's been said before, but this is an intense build! lol subscribed for more updates!
 
 quick question, do you have specs on the intercooler...i know you gave the diamensions, but was wondering if you had the exact brand or part number? also how much cutting was needed to make it fit?
 
 i'm trying to keep both headlights, and keeping the front bumper looking stock with the fog lights and brake ducts, but i would like to see the intercooler in the bottom middle, just like how you have...any info on the intercooler would help. thanks!1988 325is 237kComment

 What's up guys...so I'm back after a long break...while I was gone a few things happened I got married and I got a built motor. Here's a shot of the Ferrari my brother rented me as a wedding gift.
  
 
 So on to the built motor specs
 
 M20 2.5 with .020 over wiseco pistons
 Stock rods
 Stock crank
 Entire bottom end has arp hardware
 Head built by Vac
 Welded coolant passages
 Vac dual valve springs
 Vac billet rockers
 Schrick 288 cam
 Stock valves
 Vac adjustable cam gear
  
  
  
  
  
 Also got a new fuel system...stock tank with dual walbro 255's
 Aftermarket fuel rail. Stainless hard lines under car for E85. Custom 2 piece steel/aluminum driveshaft. I'll have pics of the driveshaft soon.
  
  
  
  
  
 
 I ran the car on 10 psi so far on my last tune that I made 380whp with. Feels good and the respond with the new came is ridicous. Holding steady at 10.5 afr going back for a fresh tune on pump gas and also retuning my timing map. I plan on making a second map for E85. I'm hoping to break 500 on pump and see what I can do on e85.
 
 Right now I have the subframe out waiting on some revshift riser bushing,diff bushing and rtabs. Will post pics soon on that.
 
 Here's a small video on the engine idling
 
 
 Enjoy
