    I now need new pistons ! Because the guy at the machine shop Honed my block wrong and well I need a oversized piston to compasate for the scoring from when it previously overheated in the past so in order to keep this block I need over sized m20 b25 pistons
    Or any setup I can run using a stock 2.5 crank someone help me out any one have these

                      Take 2



                      Pistons got cleaned up
                      As well as the rings for put back on
                      And I'm cleaning all the carbon of the valves



                      I got one of the valve guides out with a tap

                        are you going to reuse the same seals on the pistons? and what are you using to clean up the pistons? thanks!

                          im reusing the same rings / as much as i dont want to i feel like bmw has a high qaulity enough ring to do it
                          i just use a little pic to pick out all of the grooves and scotch brite simple grean and carb cleaner mainly just elbow grease with a lot of fine motor skills
