M42 rebuild/build questions I plan on rebuilding my M42 with a few friends that have tore engines apart many times...this will be my first. I want to learn!! I have a 94' 318is with 178,xxx if anyone wanted to know. What all tools are required to do a full rebuild (link or explained any way doesn't matter to me)? So far from what i've read the bottom ends of these motors are fairly strong, and I'm planning on turbo charging my M42 sometime in the future. I only plan on running 6 psi, but I want it to be reliable and have some fun from time to time. Do you guys think anything in the bottom end needs to be upgraded? I want to upgrade the head (head gasket) for sure, so my question there is where can I find built parts for the head of a M42? I've looked for a while and found heads that are already build and ready to go, but I really want to learn about the internal parts of the engine and build my motor. Any help I greatly appreciate! I will probably ask more questions as I think of them. This is just the jist of my curiosity,with a little info about what I'm planning/have already!! |
