My bad it’s a currency conversion...

The IE HD i have here are offset (appears to be by bigger radius pad by ~1mm ish 35mm vs 34mm) to suit the smaller base circle of a reground cam. They also extend the pads so the end of the pad doesn't...

they are $44 each which is closer to $20 overs...

MM were using 140.5mm rods 20 years ago. The diesel block is an m21 and it is where the forged 81mm crank comes from that Alpina used in their engines, and where the the high flow oil pumps that are sometimes...

[digger]

A plate that bolts to the top of the block making the deck taller, then you add sleeves through the plate into the block so it is a continuous cylinder liner. It is excessively complicated and not worth...

[digger]

you need to do it properly. 2 bolts is not properly (except if they were diagonal) as it is eccentrically loaded

I have heard that it is possible to swap the gearsets from a gs6-37BZ into a gs6-37DZ.

Is it possible to only change one (1) or more gears rather than the entie contents? for example i would...

i am going by post #11...

[digger]

these things are too hard to tell on pictures always looks worse than reality. Whatever donor you use will need work done by a cylinder head place and they can inspect and grind if required

i used one of the hardness files and the 65HRC does nothing to the OE yet the 55HRC bites the HD

[digger]

I probably would have gone OE to get a warm snugly feeling however flawed that actually may be....

Don't FEBI also make the HD with known issues? FEBI may make the OE rockers for BMW but...

I bought parts from Jim in 2006 nearly 20 years ago to.

Having reached out to him about some things, MM's answer to rocker wear and breakage (per the attachment posted above) is a lighter...

i do know some that say even 0.025" is ideal (thats with forgies to) but to me it is not worth the risk depending how you measure and account for rock, what parts are used, rpm etc and i am not sure...

[digger]

just dont rotate the engine fully without a timing belt for obvious reasons. you could put at TDC #1 (and #6) and use clay on those and then put head on without rotating the crank...

[digger]

The nominal value is 2mm but,

The more accurate method (tbh the correct way) is to use is get a spare head gasket (same thickness as you plan to use) or some shims the same thickness, the...

Did you replace it with on oversized eccentric or a standard one?...

[digger]

When you took that photo in the first post wasn't whether it spun by hand the first think you checked?

[digger]

Have you ever been able to do the adjustment properly so on this engine? do you know the history of it has something changed to cause this? what cam and rockers etc etc. you really need to find the root...

[digger]

You probably need to explain what trouble adjusting lash mean. if the adjustment is correct then the noise is not caused by the adjustment and something else is worn or the noise is an injector or something...
