Hey R3v
First post here. I have a 325ix that is burning oil on cylinders 5&6. Head has less than 3k on it since rebuild. Compression is above 150 on all cylinders. Believe the oil has to be coming from the lower half though and believe it is time for a rebuild.
What I Want to Accomplish:
- A fun street car that won't see track use; limit mpg loss
- low maintenance post build
- keep car and electronics as stock as possible (limited tuning/wiring knowledge)
- DIY as much as possible
- NA motor with no plan to turbo in future
Budget:
4 grand
Current Plan:
Crank: ETA
Pistons: MM 10:1 86mm
Rods: S52
Cam: Schrick 272
AFM Delete
Big Bore Throttle Body
What I need help with is refining my build from the experts here at r3v to get the most out of my money and to limit my mistakes. This will be my first engine build so I want to spend time doing the proper research.
Thanks in advance
Connor
