They seem to be a better gasket for boosted applications going off what the internet says lol Edited November 1, 2016 by Garett Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WYZEUP 281 Report post Posted November 1, 2016 It's a cut ring gasket so will slightly cut into the head and the block to handle a lot more pressure and less chance of it blowing out 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garett 103 Report post Posted November 3, 2016 So dropping off the block to get tourqe plated and bored to fit the pistons tomorrow, after that the all the components for the block will get balanced and then installed, I'll try get photos of the processes if I can. The only thing missing is a good clutch.. I could use my clutch in my car already but that would require me removing my engine and gear box now and it's still driving and driving well... im toying with the idea of getting new supertech valves and springs but a cost of around 2k is making me wonder what difference would it make???

thorburn 120 Report post Posted November 3, 2016 Which shop has the torque plate? What cam are you going to use? Are you looking at getting the supertech springs to maybe save you if you money-shifting it or just performance? I'm sure the block will continue to have a great life 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure the block will continue to have a great life Waikato engine reconditioners have one they hired in, I'm going to use the stock s50b32 intake and exhaust cams with a vanos delete and custom cam timing... ive done a lot of research into the valves and springs and just aftermarket valve train in general and many sleeps lost and found a few people having valves and retainers broken and them reverting back to the stock set up, I'm going to keep the revs to 7000rpm max and run what I got, I'm not sure the turbo will flow much after that anyway... Hell yeah this blocks got a new lease on life... for how long we will see haha Edited November 4, 2016 by Garett Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope the stroke will remain the same as I'm using the s50b30 crankshaft at 85.8mm stroke I think the b32 is 89mm stroke. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garett 103 Report post Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) Tomorrow I'll be dragging out the car and removing the clutch set up and taking it in so the whole set up can be balanced together, then start tiding up the body work, got some new m3 front and rear bumpers that are going off to get new paint well maybe just the front as I don't really mind the cable tie stitches in the rear lol.

I did however buy a cheap V8 e39 540 non vanos that runs mint and looks the part, only thing is it hasn't had a reg since 2014 Does anyone know of a fun event that i could use it in like some sort of gumball or under $1000 race, etc ???
