S52 finally!

I'm 99.999999999% certain the motor was sick when I got it. There is evidence of a recent "rebuild", it has a new oil pan (receipt from 8/23, a month before I got it) The seller sold it as oil pan was leaking I had it sealed, I think he somehow broke the pan & oil starved the motor, then fixed it as cheaply as possible to dump.

Still seems weird the motor popped so quick, The injectors the right size and new? Maybe cyl 3 had a bad injector.

Was the AA tune for boost or N/A?

It is for boost

Oh nice! I didn't realize it'll still work on the S52.

Yup

Here it is on one they sent to help me orient the intake piping.

I'm hoping to emulate this.

Plus the SC should be pretty amazing! :D

Between the outrageous prices on M54B30 rotating parts & shipping 2 ways, it was minimally more than the 5400 that would have been.

Seems like a no brainer then.

S52B32 makes more power & torque even stock, and with M50 manifold and tune you'll be up quite a bit over an M54B30.

Solid pickup!
How much did the S52 run you, if you don't mind me asking?

[parkerbink]

I paid a down payment on a fully rebuilt S52 last night, should have it in 2 weeks.






Ships like this, freight.

Mystery solved. Piston #3 has a crack.

Looking for M54B30 pistons, rods & a crank, going 3 litre stroker.

Here are a few more, WD 40 in the head to see if it's not sealed.

My guess is ring ends touched breaking ringlands.

Doing another "Stock" 2.8 build?

S52 cams, otherwise stock.

[parkerbink]

Except the Viktor R (they are crap) gasket I see no issues.
