Managed to bust mine.  Need a replacement for my spare diff.  Just the cover and no hardware.  Don't care if the bushing is good or not.  I'd be willing to pay $30 shipped to 75010.

Thanks.

All looks good.  Still haven't heard what the wait time is between tightenings.

Thanks.

That's what I needed thanks! How many hours you wait before final tightening?

Pulled the head for the first time last night.  Amazingly simple!  Took me and a buddy just over an hour.  

I was wondering if anyone had head bolt torque specs please?  (Please indicate if they are oiled or dry also)

Should have added.  This is for factory gasket and bolts.

Thanks.

Thanks for the input. Where did ya find a pan baffle?  I looked on VAC, BW, Turner and Ireland. Didn't see anything off the shelf though.  Or did ya just fab something up?

Will defintely plum in a factory cooler once it gets warmer!

Appreciate the help:D

Have a few very simple questions.  We're building a 318is to endurance race and engine wiill remain almost totally stock. Have tons of experiance with s14s but the m42 is still new to me.  Sorry for the simple questions.

First, oil. Plan on running redline 20w50.  Is that the visc. these engines like on track?

Second, is there a need to baffle the oil pan on these cars?  

Third, do you guys over fill at all or just fill to top of dipstick guage?

Fouth, any glaring thing that has to be done to these motors before tracking them?

We've already gone through all the hoses and vacuum lines, dropped both pans and retightened everything.  Please, feel offer any other adivice with regards to tracking M42.  As I said before its a new engine to me and any tips/recomendations are appreciated.

Thanks.

BTW....I think the cross reference # for the NGK Iridium is BKR6EIX
Although NGK doesn't have a listing for our engines, I cross referenced the IK20 with other vehicles and this is the # that always shows up for NGK...
NGK also makes the BKR6EIX-11.
The difference is the gap..  .032(BKR6EIX) versus .044(BKR6EIX-11)

So, the concensus is the BKR6EIX are the ones to get?  I need to order some plugs.  Thanks.
