Unfortunately, I cannot afford anything at the moment anyhow.

Thinking maybe sometime next year we should try and get a get together for M42club someplace between us.

Short update dudes:

Took apart the block completely...didn't bother with the plastigage just yet because I'm getting some M52 bits instead :D

M52 crank, M52 rods, M52 pistons!! MOO POWA!!! Well torque...

Anyways, on to the pics:











I was thinking about getting the block hot tanked...What is the approx cost for this?

Small update:

Finally dropped of the block and M52 crank at the machine shop.

Bought this:

i was going to get wiseco pistons but didn't like the idea of proprietary rings.

came out to $655 shipped!

Stay tuned :)

This thread is going to really start moving in a month or so.

Block has been cleaned and honed :)

Going to have them redo the hone because the pistons are 84.480mm.

Stay tuned! Will have some more post worthy updates next weekend :)

So I picked up my head from the OTHER machine shop!

Had them do a 3 angle valve job and clean it up :)
