the later m10 ran piano top pistons. the 02 in 2.0L had flat tops. don't think the flat tops work with the 1.8 head and the piano tops won't work with the 2.0 crank. check the part numbers on e21s...

if you threw a rod you're gonna need a replacement engine. whatever you refresh will depend on the health of the replacement. that needs to be determined first. an engine swap from an m10 to any other...

castro does it that way. they are hydraulic and come with their own set of fail over time. they also place the engine a little different and require some hammering on the firewall / trans tunnel to c...

think the original recipe was e36 mount arms with e28 rubber mounts. a quick google shows garagistic mentioning the 535i mount. there's info here on the board on it.
