Jacko 2156 Report post Posted October 22, 2019 Has anyone come across any good information source for an N52 rebuild for the home gamer, Ive spent 5min googling but not found too much. Ideally id like to pull the whole shebang to bits, curious about stuff like how the bedplate seals to the block, and if its something doable by the home gamer, critical dimensions/tolerances etc etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I recall about 300US for the shims and about 10whp increase. Reads like it works. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, 1mm more lift, but needs a tune to take advantage of it or the valvetronic just adapts the extra movement out. Seems to be roughly 10hp across the board. I saw the guy is also working on some new camshafts. With MILVs, headers and a tune, 300hp seems plausible. Edited November 3, 2019 by Jacko Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
