Mark 178 Report post Posted September 21, 2009 There is no such thing as M Spec pistons and crankshafts.... not for the M42 anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Simon* Report post Posted September 21, 2009 Paul I would say it is very likely that your friend's motor and yours in the 318iS may well me different are the parts are not interchangeable. But we need some more information really to clarify. You probably have the 1900cc M44 chain driven four-cylinder motor in yours. What kind of car have the other parts come out of?
