Thought crossed my mind after reading about "high rev kits" for BMW engines...
Are there any BMW engines out there w/solid lifters that would fit the M42?

I thought i head something about the S50 Lifters fitting the M42... not sure at all though, i'm semi-drunk and it took me a while to even think of that.. :?

if you mean fitting an entire engine, then the euro s50's had solid lifters

apparently the s50 lifters do fit the m42. the m42 is rumoured to be very closely related to the s50.sigpicM42 Brigade ... Throwing craze in the 318Comment

I remember hearing somewhere you can use the pistons as well?Originally posted by Streetspec_iS
Could parts from an S14 or S50 be combined to finish out the job?

you can use the pistons, but the block needs to be bored a bit. they arent just drop in. this process apparentyl would bring capacity up towards 2.0l.
nothing from the s14 is compatable without modification.sigpicM42 Brigade ... Throwing craze in the 318Comment

couldnt say to be honest. i mean, its obviously going to give you something, but whether or not it is economically viable,i dont know.
i kinda like the idea of having a little 2/3 s50 thing going on. mmmm, 190hp. :twisted:sigpicM42 Brigade ... Throwing craze in the 318Comment

Back on topic, I noticed awhile back that BMPD sold hi-rev kits for the 93+ M42 engines.
Just thought I'd share. Look at the durations on the cams. :shock:
