hybrid 1043 Report post Posted August 9, 2009 Dragged these pics up from an old post. The s50b32 has had a bit of a hard life outside and unfortunily had water in cylinder 1 which has caused a bit of pitting. The crank also hand a bit of minor rust on it but nothing that a bit of machining wont fix. Rust in Cylinder 1 s50 block (note 3.2ltr cylinder walls are pretty thin as standard in the ole iron block) Head Double Vanos and cams which is going to be blanked off and removed in favour of a locked adjustible timing gear system. As it stands cylinder 1 is being bored to 18thou to check that the pitting doesnt extend over the 20 thou (.5mm) bore we are looking to do. Standard pistons are 86.4mm we will take it to 86.9mm.

|ncary 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2009 Yeah, depends on the camera used/monitor settings etc. Mine sure is Lachssilber, I compared all 3 of our cars side by side on my screen and the similarly lit tones are the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 Was the rust too bad to fix in cyl 1 on the other motor? Nah its fine (after a bit of machining and sleeving) The oppertunity to buy a second one came up which was more complete so I took it. Will decide later what ill do with the other engine. I have a grand plan for everything. Its just not cheap so will take a year longer. In the mean time, this one can go in and I will run the car on the road. So expect it around soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
