Build Thread?

Use a RED Scotch Brite pad and some brake cleaner. Scotch Brite pads come in different abrasives; gray = fine, red = medium and green is rough.

They do make a semi long handled gasket scraper. Gives better pressure to get the old stuff off.

Anyone interested in a freshly build m50nv? I may be trying some new things lol

Well it just got new rod bearings, rod bolts, head bolts, all piston rings replaced, the head is going to be decked the smallest amount possible to make sure it mates well. Bore is beautiful, and you can has wiring harness and ecu if you need it.
Not sure what you had in mind for price, would you need the e36 oilpan? Because I still have that hanking around.

Idk, 600?
This isn't set in stone yet

Anyone notice that I suck at build threads? I do!
Got the head redone, looks real nice and shiny!
Got ARP studs and a .14 MLS gasket, painted the block a lighter gun metal grey (ha, get it?) and put it all back together, along with new piston rings and rod bearings and all new bolts. I have the turbo, its a holset HX35, ordered an intercooler.
Got a ZF, lots of stuff. All good fun!

Seriously, this thread is worthless without pics

Pics later, just grabbed some more hours at work to keep funding it

Alright, so a while ago I pulled the head and took that in to get machined and hot tanked, came back like this
Was good to say the least, then the goodies rolled in!
ARP2000's and a Cometic MLS gasket!
Put the head back on, and bolted her down tight!
Cleaned and painted the block somewhere in there as well.
Soo much gasket...
oh, and this!
Cleaned up my carrier and added a new bearing to that as well!
And just because he did it...
Tis my father! Who recently bought a 330i sport! I don't have pictures of it for some reason?!

I spy different rims on the red car. And oh man, that turbo makes my pants tight.

Those are different wheels! Some how my parents are letting me get away with this
Lol, glad to know I can make your pants tight.
