[Jack89i]

Got my little helper in the back!

If it's stupid and it works it isn't stupid right?



Starting to look more like a car again..

Got some nice shiny parts from IE

that stock bar looks pathetic next to the 19mm

Well..I've done a lot to the car but just haven't updated the thread much. I'm less than two weeks from the vintage but it will be there!

Finally got the Luke box in..sounds awesome!

USB and Aux retrofit into the cig lighter

New HU with Bluetooth and some other goodies

Definitely Sub'd!!!!

[Zacm829]

Yeah for sure that would be an interesting comparison. Is yours a b44Tu with Vanos?

Just got around to seeing this. It is a 97 motor so no vanos, just a tad more displacement.

I look forward to checking out the car at the Vintage!

Rod bearings done just for peace of mind and oil pump seals and chain. The old ones did not look bad at all




Heads are back from the machine shop. Got them tanked and decked

In.

Did you use the stock m62 oil pump?

[whitebulat22]

Can't wait to see what this beast makes! The cams set to a high end alignment probably leads to similar head flow to S62, and the ITBs and headers are the same, might just end up pulling the same too.

This is silly.

Gorgeous GSD, too One of my favorites.

sub'd, very cool!

Yeah it's the m62 pump with a modified oil separator line that runs down to it

Spent a good 5 hours taking apart all 32 lifters and cleaning them out [emoji3][emoji379]


And finally..heads are on!

Had to wait 3 weeks for one of the timing guides but they are all on now..never times a chain engine much less a quad cam BMW V8 so hope I did it right [emoji16]


Had to heat and bend the m60 oil return line to work with the 62 pump

Hi Jack, when are hoping to have this running?

Have you contacted my friend about the ITB adaptors? Do you plan to run factory can timing?

[The Dark Side of Will]

Isn't there an oil gallery on the M62 block where the M60 idler sprocket bolts up that needs to be plugged for this swap?

IE, if it doesn't get plugged, it's just dumping oil intended for the valvetrain into the timing cover?

Yes, jgood documented this very well.

[Jack89i]

Yeah there is, I tapped it and put a bolt in it
