Ah yes, European finland/Swedish build always good with your crazy fuckers.

LOL LOL.. so true.

My Euro blood got me in trouble too... I'm past that now I'm just going to take it easy with a simple M62b44 swap

Nice work! Do you know what caused the head gasket failure?

[jannmann]

My alloy flywheel:



5,9kg +Sachs SRE 765 and std e39 M5 clutch disc

I also cut 1mm from head to get comp ration to 11:1



Alpina cams regrind to Schrick spec.


I also go custom shim under buckets.





Valve springs come from Ford modular 32v engine (eibach race parts)
Upper retainers are from S62.
Now my valve/cam setup can handle 8500rpm.
Of course i use 7500rpm limit, i hope my std rods can take it.

Lets start with engine build.
I was looking cheap replacement for S14B27 engine.
So i bye Alpina F3 engine with head gasket failure.





After disassemble, i look all the parts and think, maybe i do some tuning also before rebuilding it.

Find some S62 parts:



Also i take Alpina heads to flowbench.
Heads flow 580hp/12mm valve lift (28")
Now i know that heads are ok for better cams.
After some search, i go with Schrick 292/284 profiles for S14 engine.
