I do what I need done, modify the way I want, not a f'n sheep. Metric must do the same thing which is cool.
Not really familiar DUDE with BMW aftermarket or guys, Ive done Mustangs,Camaros,TA's,Subarus,your mom, its silly what I do. Im just passing through to you. So dont worry about what IM doing and forget the thread, go somewhere and grow up, Im finished replying to you.Leave a comment:

You do realize that that was a picture of a head that had material REMOVED AND TEXTURED, not added haphazardly, right? And cheap? You must have no idea who or what Metric Mechanic is...Leave a comment:

Thank you
I heard of this but never seen it, thanks again. Finally someone who knows what Im talking about. This is common machining and welding to HEADS, that Im talking about, ITS CUSTOM,custom. And its cheap as hell, thats why I want to try it to the i head. Sweet pics!You guys are harsh. It's been done before by a few shops just not really on BMW's. Along similar lines...Metric Mechanic made a name for themselves back in the day by grinding grooves/reshaping combustion chambers on BMW heads. They called it "Surface Turbulence". They claimed it helped reduce laminar flow and re-homogenizes the fuel mixture for a better burn. Another well known machinist I know (an Edelbrock guy), welds more 'meat' onto certain parts of a head just so he can make the intake ports larger when he ported it. He would not be able to go as large with the stock design.

what is funny though, in the pic of the MM head, it looks like they have made no attempt to unshroud the valves or blend the chamber to the seat. that is basic chamber modification you would do. insted there is a bunch of funky groves in the chamber from an end mill (maybe).Leave a comment:

You could also take an angle grinder to the crank while you've got it apart. Lose a little weight from those rotating parts, ya know...make it scream!
Quit asking questions and just go for it. Post up some pics too.Leave a comment:

If you're too stupid to figure out how to ignore me you should never touch a car...
Hmm, this story sounds familiar. Whatt18yahoo, is that you?MAtt, Im into doing all kinds crap. One of them happens to be eventually to put enough money in this block and stock parts to see what it takes to BREAK IT, for fun. Guess Im in the wrong forum to see what these things are made of. Im just trying to verify the rumors for myself, havent seen these broken yet, just 1 rocker arm so far.My intentions are to blow the crap out of this thing to see what it can do.

Nando, can we be friends?
Thank you. Can we be friends too?welding for bigger ports is nothing new, neither is redesigning the stock chambers. without the abilty to test what you are doing along with a way to closely duplicate at least 6 times. you are pretty much pissing up a rope.
have you thought about just buying higher comp pistons? when you go turbo, get lower comp pistons, sell the others to recoup some cash. done deal.Leave a comment:

there's a difference between what MM does, with a flowbench and empirical testing, and a hilljack in his backyard with a welder and no clue why it's a bad idea.You guys are harsh.
