Hi all, it's been a long time since I have been lurking on here and need some advice for my e9.
A few years ago I purchased a m90, long water jacket and verified when the head was removed for rebuild. Sadly when cleaning the parts, I had found the valves had just touched the tops of each piston. I did not want to risk bent valves and an already milled head ruining my rebuild, I mothballed the project.
Speed ahead 4 years, I now have an opportunity to get a complete m30b35 from a mates e34 for cheap. I need the head to continue building my m90. This will be a carb car as i have a set of new 45 dcoes ready to go. Having a m30 and a m90 gives me options.
M90 with m90 head with b35 valves
M90 with b35 crank, 2mm milled off pistons
M30b35
Input would be appreciated.
