Hi there all, I would just like to share my rebuid for my 328ti M52B28, Cylinders were down on pressure. The engine has been chemicaly dipped and external parts, I then Honed the cylinder bores. I have used Genuine BMW parts for the engine i purchased full engine gasket set including head, New mains, Big ends and Rings, Head was hot pressure tested and skimmed 5 thou. Over the last two weeks i have sprayed some of the engine parts, Sump, rocker, oil filter housing, thermostat housing and so on, I will be adding some pictures over the next couple of days. | | | 04-20-2012, 04:10 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Wichita Falls, Texas Posts: 1,364 | So this is what my wife's Z3 engine looks like on the inside!

You can achieve more reliability by increasing bore size and shortening the stroke. Most all the bad ass motors were over square, 426's, 502's, 572, 440 super commando, boss 302, 351 cleveland, Ford's super cobra jet. I could go on but you get the point.. | | | 04-27-2012, 06:44 PM | #9 | Moderator Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 3,220 | I love rebuilds.
