Head was totally redone ~50k ago. I am leaning towards just getting rings anyway- they're cheap. If I'm pokin around in there, cleanliness should be a non issue.

Go with Hastings if you can. We sell them for Alfas and they seem to do really well with seating in with liners that have not been machined or even honed. They take a few hundred miles (600 ish?) but after that it's all gravy.'88 528e /// '88 M5 /// '89 951 /// '98 E430 /// '02 M5Comment

Is it just me or does my driveshaft not have a slip coupling? (I have never heard of this and was planning on doing the combination driveshaft, so it is likely that I'm just an idiot). I haven't yanked off the center support bearing but in the Bentley manual it looks much longer than that. I'm time crunched so I can only work on the car on weekends, so if I need to make new driveshaft provisions it's best to know now.

Pretty sure it doesn't, so I will need a 325e shaft (motor in postion 3) or get this one cut and welded.
Bearings and seals redone. Cylinder walls show obvious factory cross hatching at 315k. Popping my Stage 3 M5 clutch and lightened 533i flywheel in this weekend probably. Got to buy and figure out my megasquirt sensors/glen's garage PWM idle valve board.

Aside from showing yourself to be offensive, lacking experience and ignorant in the ways of business, you're also illiterate and imprudent. Beyond that, your sense of liability is severely impaired.

Picked up a 325e shaft. Still need to redo the pintle tops (going with 5.0 mustang caps). Tapping my pan for the oil return line BEFORE we put the engine back in the car. All turbo parts except wastegate/exhaust pieces (huge acestainless order, lol) are here. That and some random megasquirt parts, injectors, colder plugs...fuck.
31"x3"x12" intercooler seems just right :)'89 335is +turboComment
