<![CDATA[My latest project]]>Well it’s about that time for me to start on another time consuming adventure and something to actually post about, so here it is.

I will try my best to take pictures of progress in case anyone is interested. Should be a pretty fun car all said and done!

Yikes, thats not good... Did it have oil pressure issues or shavings in the oil?

The oil pressure was ok minus the supply to the back 2 caps, both the bearing caps had the nuts that hold the caps on loose. I haven’t found any metal shavings anywhere except around the caps, but I haven’t pulled the pan yet either. The filter didn’t have anything weird in it so maybe it didn’t spread too far.

I've got a head floating around, I believe it's got one bent valve.
NV head so the valve stems are different dia, I've also got a tray and caps with cams and lifters for an m52 I believe if you need that

That think looks messy

Thanks Ben I will definitely let you know if I need any parts! I found a M50 head from a fellow autoXer that looks like it is in pretty good shape so I will see where that gets me...

Probably going to start poking around for new head. Need new cam caps/ledges and a few other parts of the head aren’t looking to healthy. At least I’ve got some new cams already 😂

On that note, anyone have any M50 or S50 heads laying around?

Any advice on whether or not I should have the head/block machined? Taking the head off to replace head gasket and upgrade valve springs/cams and fix front timing cover. Wasn’t having any sort of head gasket issues so I was debating if I could get by without?

Thats a great car you have there!

Unfortunately it’s not mine, I’m just the one putting all the go fast parts on it 👍🏻

This should be pretty tasty.

Style 5s?

I think they’re some knockoff wheel but I honestly haven’t looked close enough at them. Either way I think they look pretty nice on it!
