    m10 rebuild

    Where do I start? I want to completely refresh my motor, port & polish.. new headgasket etc.. Anybody have input or experience with rebuilding an m10. Also want to know the pricing of things.. any recommendations? I know I'm going to eventually swap it out in the future but for now, just want to make it a reliable motor for my daily driving. Thanks!

        Its an m10, i wouldn't be too worried about it exploding on you.
        Do you have knocking, or alot of burning oil?


        Just do some basic maintenance, and a valve adjustment and you should be good to go.

          the engine is surprisingly quiet, does not really burn oil. so i guess i shouldnt be too worried.. a valve adjustment is next on my list for sure and fix my leaking injector
