You can get liners for these engines.

Good luck honing those cylinders. What compound are you using?
also, proper hone or go home. It's pretty much a must to remove cylinders before honing.Leave a comment:

I got the heads off the motor earlier this week and found some scratches in a couple of the cylinders so I will be doing some honing!! Ordered the compound a couple of days ago and should have it in a day or two. Hoping I can clean up the cylinders without having to pull the pistons but if not, we'll re-ring the pistons and replace the bearings while I'm in there. This was the main reason I didn't relish pulling the heads but there was some pretty heavy oil residue around the area where the intake, heads and block all meet so here we are. I'll get some pics and document the work as I get more time. Also got my new core support ordered and hopefully will have that here within a week or so and I can get it all mocked up for making it removable!Leave a comment:

e30 M60B40 5-speed!!
After breaking the M20 with only 3k miles on the rebuild (shattered the #1 piston rod!!!!) and debating all the options I have decided to go big or go home!! Picked up a M60B40 out of a 1995 740iL with 160kish miles! I've gathered just about everything I need for my swap with the exception of the transmission (waiting on one from snow bound MN!!!), radiator and fans and new core support. The core support was beat up and looked like it had been welded in by a 2-year old!!! Seriously, a blind man could have made better welds! I will be making the new core support removable for easier maintenance. I will be deleting the ABS and booster and going to a complete manual brake system. So far so good as I've gotten the engine and trans out of the car and the M60 broken down on the engine stand. I'll try to update as much as I can and as I make progress!!! Can't wait to get this on the road!!
