24V = smithereens after 50 hours of racing

[TheTacoMan]

I'm Kinda curious are you going to throw another m50 in and race again?
Id like to see how many hours it would last as an experiment.

[kronus]

should have swapped an m30. 24v's are for bitches

i've blown a few of those on track. they're not bulletproof without a decent investment of $$$ into the oiling system, stock they have a pretty bad over-oiling and left-turn starvation problem, in addition to a fairly narrow powerband.

Valve spring retainer: $3.90
Junkyard M52: $100
Lemons value: $500

you pulling those solid mounts out?

Shoot, nothing is bullet proof on the track. Two seasons, and just about ANY motor will need a refresh. This was the first season I haven't had to replace the motor at any point. Course, I was only able to get out for a hand full of races due to family, budget, schedules..etc.

I am still so confused what is going on in this thread.. (Seems like people are being ripped on for not racing, and then being ripped on for racing..)

[Bullhead]

this thread is funny, i still havent worked out what you guys are arguing about

^ I am also lost, I thought we were speculating on failures but heck I'm just having a good read now. I laughed about the m30 thing, It was clever but I guess you get ahold of whatever you can for a lemons car. Again idk and have no experience in Lemons but this has turned into a very entertaining thread.

Not any time soon.

RPM hurts parts plain and simple.

that's why i prefer cubic inches and the inherent low rpm band that results its easier on the valvetrain and some aspects of the bottom end

SMH...this thread is up to 6 pages. I have no comment on Wanganstyle's OP...seems lame. That said, he builds awesome diffs for a good price.

This guy... With his 6 pages.... Wtf.

I suggest those with delusions of grandeur regarding the strength of stock OEM BMW engines under heavy stress to review these photos.

BMW makes the best enduro spec BMW engines; run it 100% stock

Yeah... I started that other thread. Wasn't going to bring that post up...but yeah...

[Wanganstyle]

Yeah... I started that other thread. Wasn't going to bring that post up...but yeah...

and none managed to read the context in your thread as reading is difficult; NEW OEM parts
- r3vtards delete the word NEW OEM part from reading comprehension it does not look good on signature mod lists.


If the data of a 24v lasting only 50 hours of racing offends anyone so be it - I thought 50 hours was quite a decent amount of run time for a junkyard engine randomly purchased off local r3vtard on CL.
