engine;
e34 block (early) Hartge
few scratches in 2 of the bores.but used it as the holes were straight and not much wear measured.
pistons;
kept the originals 9.0- compression' a few markes but hey it was cheap.
new rings-nothing fancy/new bearings shells/seals
MSL gasket -25% thicker then standard
head off a e32;stripped and reasembled by shop.best of what i had in the parts bins(valves,rockers) reground cam shaft.
apparently a little more angle(?) revy??
new timing chain-slotted front sprocket,TDC perfect.
after the engine was reasembled i fitted a m5 paddle clutch and dropped it back in the hole.clocked up 1000 odd k's before removing the exhaust /manifold and started fitting up the bits
