That fan delete kit is a good setup. I ran that exact kit on my old F/I s52 m3 vert. Only time I saw the needle go above norm was sitting at loong stop lights in the middle of summer.

Do you have part/model numbers for the Supertech valve train?  I've checked their stock lists and couldn't find anything that was compatible with the M42 engine.

Cheers

Rob, I updated my list with part numbers. Here is a link to supertech website http://www.supertechperformance.com/catalog?mk=1&ca=188&en=19

Dropped all the engine parts off to the machine shop last night. Decided to let them do the build as I will be tied up with the chasis and... I just want it done by a pro.. I did a slight change and went back to the stock forged crank for piece of mind. This is the "final" setup that will be built (pending machine shop analysis of said parts):


Bottom End:
86.5mm Wiseco
Stock forged 81mm crank
Stock forged early model m42 140mm rods
ARP 2000 Main bolts
ARP 2000 Rod bolts
VAC coated Main Bearings
VAC coated Rod Bearings

Head:
Supertech dual valve springs, seats, and retainers  SPR-H1000D/BM, SEAT-BM50, RET-K20a2/t2
Supertech 6mm black nitride coated Intake valves BMIVN-1030S
Supertech 6mm Inconel exhaust valves BMEVI-1030S
Supertech Keepers KPR-6S-7
BMW oem 6mm valve guides
VW 48gram Lifters p/n 050 109309
Cometic MLS 86.5mm .098" gasket
ARP 2000 Head studs

Thanks for the tips guys. Will converse with the machine ship on the crank.

I just happen to have a torn down 95 m42 as well.. Ok so the the deflection guide is better than the deflection wheel? Any other parts I should rob from the 95 m42?

I weighed each rod I was anticipating on using: (the weights are with bearings). Metric mechanic 610 gram is weighing the ROD only, not the bearings or the bolts.

Brand new set of cosmo coilovers. These are for 318 1983-1992. $180 shipped.
