Update for me, buddy has been working on my head. Took out the extra valve spring seat, valve seemed fine, but swapped it with another just incase. Looked at the rockers from the head the 272 came from and some were just a little to worn (edged) so pulled another head from a spare motor and those rockers looked very good, so now my head is fully put back together and the cam spins like it should with no obstructions! Should be a nice weekend project putting everything back together, but the "head"-ache is over hahahah!
Things left to do:
re-install the head
new head gasket
head bolts
timing belt
new water pump
various seals/gaskets
new plugs/oil
coolant flush
clutch slave
and whatever else I find wrong LOL, but I have all the parts already which is a +
I've been super temped to start putting together a 20g turbo setup, this way I can do arp studs and a thicker head gasket while i'm here, but at this point I just really want to get the car running!
Also, I know you guys said you like e30 specific meets, but me and local lexus club have setup a friendly bmw vs lexus meet for fun. For those that would be interested it going to be this Saturday at 7:45pm in the Tinseltown Movie Theatre parking lot (by Hooters)
Cheers!
